TCU women shoot for better things vs. No. 6 Texas
On Saturday, TCU shot 28.3 percent in a 58-49 loss to Kansas State, its lowest field-goal percentage since posting a 27.6 clip against Texas in the teams’ last meeting.
On Wednesday, TCU (11-6, 3-3 Big 12) looks to find its stride again at Schollmaier Arena against the Longhorns, ranked No. 6 in the AP Top 25 poll.
Texas (16-1, 5-1) is the third ranked team TCU faces this month. The Horned Frogs lost to No. 19 Oklahoma and at No. 4 Baylor, each by double digits.
TCU guard Zahna Medley needs three points to pass Frogs assistant coach and former Longhorn Edwina Brown into 32nd on the Big 12’s career scoring list. Medley scored eight points Saturday to surpass 1,700.
Medley and the Horned Frogs will face the conference’s second-best scoring defense against Texas. The Longhorns give up an average of 53.4 points per game, bested only by Baylor’s 52.9 average.
Working in TCU’s favor are its three players holding the top three spots in the Big 12 in 3-point field goal percentage: Toree Thompson (45.2), AJ Alix (45.1) and Medley (43.6).
