The TCU Horned Frogs defeated the top-ranked Baylor Lady Bears 83-67 in a Big 12 matchup, extending their winning streak against Baylor to four games. TCU point guard Olivia Miles scored a career-high 40 points, including 24 in the third quarter, as the Horned Frogs shot 51.7% from 3-point range. Baylor struggled defensively, allowing open looks and failing to adjust their game plan to slow down Miles.

Why it matters

This loss is a setback for the Baylor women's basketball team, which had won 37 straight games against TCU prior to this season. The Lady Bears' vaunted defense was exposed, raising questions about their ability to bounce back and maintain their position atop the Big 12 standings.

The details

Baylor got off to a slow start, committing five early turnovers that led to easy transition opportunities for TCU. The Horned Frogs built a lead that the Lady Bears were unable to overcome, as Miles continued to knock down open 3-pointers. Baylor's star point guard, Taliah Scott, had a strong second quarter, but the Lady Bears' defense could not get enough stops to mount a sustained comeback.

  • The game was played on February 13, 2026 at Baylor's Foster Pavilion.
  • TCU has now defeated Baylor in four straight meetings, flipping a rivalry that the Lady Bears had dominated in recent years.

Baylor will have a chance to bounce back on Sunday when they travel to Orlando, Florida to face the 10-14 UCF Knights.

The takeaway

This loss raises questions about Baylor's defensive vulnerabilities and their ability to make in-game adjustments, especially against a hot-shooting opponent. However, the Lady Bears still control their own path to the Big 12 title, and this setback could serve as a wake-up call to refocus their efforts on the defensive end of the floor.
