TCU transfer Olivia Miles has the Horned Frogs one win away from a Big 12 championship. Miles, who left Notre Dame after last season, leads TCU in scoring, assists, and steals, and recently recorded her fifth triple-double of the season to help the Horned Frogs rally from a 13-point fourth quarter deficit to beat Iowa State. TCU has gone from finishing last in the Big 12 just three seasons ago to becoming a top contender in the conference under coach Mark Campbell's use of the transfer portal.
Why it matters
Olivia Miles' decision to transfer from Notre Dame to TCU has paid off, as she has helped transform the Horned Frogs into a Big 12 powerhouse. TCU's rise to the top of the conference standings is a testament to the program's ability to quickly rebuild through strategic use of the transfer portal.
The details
Olivia Miles was widely projected as a WNBA lottery pick after starring at Notre Dame last season alongside Hannah Hidalgo. However, Miles decided to transfer to TCU, where she has led the Horned Frogs in scoring, assists, and steals. Last weekend, Miles poured in 17 of her 26 points in the fourth quarter to lead TCU to an 80-73 comeback win over Iowa State, recording her fifth triple-double of the season in the process.
- TCU reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010 last year, earning a No. 2 seed.
- Just three seasons ago, TCU finished last in the Big 12 at 8-23 overall and 1-17 in conference play.
- TCU closes the regular season on the road at Cincinnati before hosting No. 15 Baylor. A win against the Bearcats would secure a share of the Big 12 championship.
