MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Feb. 12, 2024) The No. 24 West Virginia University women’s basketball team is set to close out its Texas road trip against TCU on Tuesday, Feb. 13, inside Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Tipoff against the Horned Frogs is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.




Tuesday’s matchup with TCU will be broadcast live on the Mountaineer Sports Network, including 100.3 WZST-FM, with Andrew Caridi on the call. Fans also can listen to the game on the Mountaineer Sports Network.



Additionally, the game will be broadcast on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ with Ron Thulin and Jada Curtis on the call. Live stats and game notes will be available on WVUsports.com.



Tuesday’s game is the first of two contests between the pair this season and marks the 27th all-time meeting between WVU (20-3, 9-3 Big 12) and TCU (15-8, 2-10 Big 12). West Virginia is 21-5 all-time against the Horned Frogs, including 8-3 in games played in Fort Worth. West Virginia is the winner of seven straight, dating back to Jan. 30, 2021.



TCU opened the season with a perfect nonconference record but has been plagued by injuries to now sit in last place in the Big 12 standings. The Horned Frogs have lost four straight and come into the game off a, 65-43, loss at home, to then No. 7 Texas.



The Horned Frogs are led in scoring this season by Madison Conner who averages 21.0 points per game. Agnes Emma-Nnopu leads the team on the glass with 7.2 rebounds this season.



The Mountaineers come into the contest off a loss to No. 18 Baylor on Saturday. The result snapped a seven-game winning streak. The seven consecutive wins in Big 12 play was the longest for the Mountaineers since the 2021 season when they won nine.



The Mountaineers were led in scoring by junior guard JJ Quinerly who finished with 13 points despite early foul trouble. It marked the 22nd time this season she has scored in double figures. Junior guard Kyah Watson also finished in double figures with 12 points and added a career-high 15 rebounds. It was her fifth career double-double. Sophomore guard Jordan Harrison added 12 points as she and Quinerly have combined for 42 double-digit scoring games this season.



Quinerly (19.3), sophomore guard Jordan Harrison (13.5) and fifth-year guard Lauren Fields (11.1) continue to pace WVU's offensive effort this season. Quinerly is the fourth-leading scorer per game in the conference while her 443 total points rank second. She is one of 11 players in program history to record 1000 career points and 200 steals.



The Mountaineers have four of the top five steals leaders in the Big 12 with Quinerly (3.3), Harrison (2.9), Fields (2.3) and Watson (2.2). Harrison has racked up 126 assists this season, the second-best in the conference, and is averaging 5.5 per game which leads the Big 12. Watson paces WVU in rebounding, with 6.4 per game.



West Virginia averages 14.3 steals per contest and adds a 9.35 turnover margin which are the best marks in the nation. Additionally, WVU forces 24.4 turnovers per game, the second most in the country.
