TCU basketball star adds another major national honor to resume
TCU point guard Olivia Miles was selected as a second-team All-American by the Associated Press on Wednesday morning.
Miles already earned first-team All-American honors from The Athletic and second-team honors from ESPN, The Sporting News and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.
TCU graduate student forward Marta Suarez received honorable mention from the AP.
It’s Miles’ third AP All-American honor after she made the second team in 2023 and 2025 at Notre Dame.
After transferring to TCU for her final year, the graduate student enjoyed the most productive season of her career. She is averaging 19.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 48.7% from the field (35.2% on 3-pointers).
UConn’s Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd made the first team, along with Vanderbilt’s Mikayla Blakes, UCLA’s Lauren Betts and Texas’ Madison Booker. Miles was joined on the second team by Ohio State’s Jaloni Cambridge, Iowa State’s Audi Crooks, South Carolina’s Joyce Edwards and Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo.
Miles was voted the Big 12 Player of the Year after leading TCU to its second straight Big 12 regular-season championship. She also helped the Horned Frogs reach the Big 12 Tournament title game, where they fell to West Virginia.
The definition of a versatile guard, Miles is the only player in college basketball this year — and one of 11 in history — who has tallied at least 600 points, 200 rebounds and 200 assists in a season. Miles has accounted for 45 percent of TCU’s offensive output.
Miles has the fifth-most assists nationally, and her 6.4 assists-per-game average ranks seventh.
Suarez, a transfer from Cal, is averaging 17.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 37.3% on 3-pointers.
With Miles and Suarez leading the way, TCU (29-5) will enter the NCAA Tournament as one of a handful of Final Four contenders. The No. 3 seed Horned Frogs will host No. 14 seed UC San Diego at 11 a.m. Friday at Schollmaier Arena.
If TCU wins, it will face the winner of No. 6 Washington vs. No. 11 South Dakota State on Sunday at a time to be determined.
