No. 14 TCU women’s basketball will hit the road again for a Big 12 battle at Colorado on Sunday, Feb. 8.
A road win over a conference foe in the top half of the standings would help TCU (21-3 overall, 9-2 Big 12) build much-needed momentum heading into a three-week stretch that features three games against top-20 teams (No. 15 Baylor twice, No. 20 West Virginia) and a resurgent Iowa State. The Horned Frogs are currently tied with the Bears at 9-2 in the Big 12 standings and play at Baylor on Feb. 12.
