No. 11 TCU hosts No. 18 Baylor in a matchup between the top two teams in Big 12 women's basketball.
The TCU Horned Frogs have already secured at least a share of the Big 12 women's basketball regular-season title.
They can claim the championship outright with a win Sunday over the Baylor Bears.
Both teams are not unfamiliar with one another when it comes to this high-stakes race at the end of the season. Last year, the same situation occurred with the regular-season finale between the rivals deciding the regular season and conference tournament titles.
"To win another league title, I’m so proud of this group," TCU coach Mark Campbell said, via TCU Magazine. "They’ve been grinding for the last nine months. Had this goal since June, and today we accomplished that. And we still got one more really big game coming up on Sunday."
The national spotlight has made its way to this matchup with No. 18-ranked Baylor as ESPN will host College GameDay in Fort Worth for the first time in TCU women's hoops history.
With the game playing at Schollmaier Arena, TCU looks to use the home-court advantage that has been a story of their dominant run. The No. 11-ranked Horned Frogs, 26-4 overall and 14-3 in conference, are 17-0 at home and riding a 42-game home winning streak.
That mark is the longest active streak in the country and features 31 victories by over double-digits.
TCU's last home win, over Iowa State 80-73 last week, set the table for a blowout win at Cincinnati on Wednesday to claim at least a share of the conference belt. Baylor (24-6, 13-4 Big 12) is riding a two-game win streak with recent victories over Arizona and Kansas State in Waco.
Olivia Miles, one of the seniors that will be honored in the regular season finale, leads the charge for the Horned Frogs with a career-high average of 20.1 points to go with 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game in what is likely an All-American campaign to cap her collegiate career.
What would be even sweeter? A conference championship to send the Frogs into the postseason with as much momentum as possible.
As Campbell says, the book is already a memorable one, but one last chapter remains to be written.
"The stage and how everything’s unfolded, where Baylor happens to be Baylor and there’s a league title that we’re playing for. And we have seven incredible seniors that get to play at the Scholl one last time, and so, you know, the script couldn’t be any better."
