If TCU wants to get this win, they will need a strong performance from center Jordan Moore, who finished 6th in the conference in scoring. The Frogs will have a tough task in the opening game of taking down Texas, a team that just beat them this week in Fort Worth in the regular season finale. The Frogs have had quite the roller coaster of a year, but it was a stretch of five-straight victories in the heart of Big 12 play that brought TCU into the NCAA Tournament conversation and a pair of late-season road victories over Kansas and Oklahoma that have them in a nice position. Games with the Wildcats are often close, and they do a really impressive job of staying out of foul trouble and limiting opponents’ opportunities at the free-throw line. Of the three teams on the bubble, Kansas State is definitely in the most favorable position given their RPI, but that can change in the tournament. The Wildcats have been impressive of late, picking up road victories in Austin and Fort Worth during that stretch. K-State has brought themselves back to the bubble conversation by rattling off five consecutive victories heading into the conference tournament. Opposing teams will need to know where Tynice Martin is at all times - she finished 3rd in the conference in scoring and 2nd in three-point field goal percentage.
1 in the conference in three-point field goal defense and No. Everything with West Virginia centers around the three-point line, as the Mountaineers are No. The Mountaineers enter the game heading in the wrong direction, losing 3 of their final 4 games down the stretch however, they showed promise in their last game, falling to Baylor in Morgantown 63-57. If any team has the post presence to battle with Baylor, it’s Texas, as they rank No. The Longhorns don’t stand out as doing any one thing extremely well, but they are led by some experienced players who will know what it takes to win in March.
While this year might not have featured the success that Longhorn fans are accustomed to, Texas still showed that they were very competitive as five of their losses came only by single digits. In recent seasons, Texas has been a national powerhouse, right up at the top of the conference with Baylor. 10 nationally, averaging north of 80 points per game and led the conference in three-pointers made per game and free-throw percentage. Whereas Baylor wins games for the most part on the defensive end, the Cyclones are all about scoring and putting up big numbers. They are led by senior guard Bridget Carleton, who was the Big 12 Player of the Year, leading the league with 21.9 points per game and shooting 46.6% from the field, which is elite for a guard. The Cyclones have been one of the bigger surprises in the conference this season and are entering the conference tournament having won 9 of their previous 11 games. 1 in the nation in field-goal percentage defense and blocked shots per game. Where the Bears really stand out is on the defensive end, where they rank No. They are anchored by star center Kalani Brown and forward Lauren Cox, who combined are averaging 27.8 points per game. Since that loss, they have beaten the likes of UConn and dominated most of the games they have played in. Winners of 20 consecutive games, their only loss on the season came on the road against Stanford. The Bears enter the tournament this season as the clear favorite, having gone through conference play unblemished.
