TCU women have trouble on offense in loss at Kansas State

TCU couldn’t overcome a poor shooting night as the Frogs fell 58-49 to Kansas State on Saturday night.

The Wildcats (12-5, 2-4) held TCU to just 28.3 percent shooting from the field, the lowest output of the season for Horned Frogs.

Kansas State limited the TCU offense early as the Frogs fell behind 8-2, making just 1 of 9 shots to open the game. They also committed four turnovers before Carol Willie’s basket with 3:02 remaining in the first quarter.

After cutting the lead to three at 17-14 on a basket by Veja Hamilton with 6:59 left in second quarter, the Frogs again went cold. TCU missed its final 10 shots of the half as Kansas State scored the final 10 points of the half.

TCU’s 10 first-half turnovers, paired with its 21.4 percent shooting effort in the opening half proved costly in holding a 13-point deficit at the break at 27-14.

Kansas State’s Megan Deines got a steal to start the second half and extended the lead to 15 points at 29-14.

The Frogs (11-6, 3-3) had just one player in double figures as AJ Alix had 13 points. Senior Zahna Medley had eight points, seven rebounds and four assists.
