TCU came out firing in their home opener against New Orleans, securing another at-home victory with a final score of 107-52. This was the Frogs’ first 100-point game since beating Southeastern Louisiana 112-62 on Dec. 10, 2017. The Horned Frogs showcased their strong defense and offense and made it difficult for the Privateers to establish any rhythm. Both teams suffered from turnovers in the first half. The Frogs forced 14 but had 13 of their own. Despite double-digit turnovers, TCU established control of the game early, leading 56-25 at the end of the first half.

Coming into the third quarter, TCU continued to dominate. Even as New Orleans caught momentum with a few three-pointers, the effort was not enough to climb back from TCU’s lead. TCU’s ball movement and fast-paced shooting catapulted the Horned Frogs’ lead. Madison Conner dominated from beyond the arc, finishing with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, making it her fourth 30-point game. She is now tied with TCU’s all-time leading scorer, Lauren Heard, for the most 30-point games in program history. The Horned Frogs will host the Texas State Bobcats on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m.
