TCU (19-2, 7-1) led 39-24 at halftime, catapulted by Sedona Prince’s dominant 22-point, 13-rebound double-double. However, the Horned Frogs fell down the stretch, shooting just 25% in the second half.
Despite TCU star Hailey Van Lith contributing 12 points, the Horned Frogs could not execute in the game’s final moments. Van Lith missed a potential game-winning shot in the closing seconds, and Oklahoma State secured its first win over a top-10 opponent since 2017.
The Cowgirls overcame poor free-throw shooting (6-for-14) with a 42% shooting performance from the field. OSU also capitalized on takeaways, scoring 16 points off TCU’s 12 turnovers.
Oklahoma State’s victory snaps TCU’s 11-game winning streak. The Horned Frogs look to regroup as it hosts Iowa State on Saturday.
