TCU women's basketball is heading to its second consecutive NCAA Tournament, aiming to build on past success.

This strategic approach to team building has become a hallmark of head coach Mark Campbell's tenure.
Leading the charge this season is senior guard Olivia Miles, a transfer who has made an immediate impact. Miles, who was named the Big 12's Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year, has been crucial to TCU's offense. She is complemented by other key transfers like Marta Suárez and Clara Silva, adding scoring depth and rebounding prowess to the starting lineup.
The team's continuity is further evidenced by a 42-game home win streak. Despite a recent loss in the Big 12 Tournament final, the Horned Frogs are focused on their NCAA Tournament performance. Coach Campbell emphasizes the importance of experience, noting that many players have previous March Madness game experience, aiming to forge their own legacy.
