Marta Suarez dominates as TCU women’s basketball clinches the Big 12 title, earning Player of the Week after averaging 26.5 points and 10 rebounds.
TCU women’s basketball didn’t just defend its Big 12 regular-season title - it did it with authority. And at the center of that charge was Marta Suarez.
The graduate forward from Oviedo, Spain captured Big 12 Player of the Week honors after delivering a jaw-dropping two-game stretch that sealed the Horned Frogs’ outright conference championship.
Suarez averaged 26.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, three assists and three steals while shooting 51.4 percent from the field and a blistering 64.3 percent from 3-point range.
She opened the week with a career-high 32 points in an 83-70 road win over Cincinnati, attacking from all three levels and controlling tempo late.
Then, with a title hanging in the balance, Suarez poured in 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in a 65-53 win over then-No. 18 Baylor - a performance that slammed the door on the Big 12 race.
The bigger picture is even more impressive. TCU women’s basketball has now secured back-to-back regular-season Big 12 championships, an unprecedented turnaround for a program that finished last in the league just three seasons ago.
The Frogs have rewritten their own trajectory, and Suarez has been the steady hand guiding it.
This marks her second weekly conference honor of the season, but the timing matters.
With the Phillips 66 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Tournament tipping off in Kansas City, TCU enters postseason play with momentum, swagger and the league’s most dominant forward operating at peak efficiency.
While Kansas freshman Jaliya Davis grabbed headlines across the conference with nine straight Freshman of the Week awards, the spotlight in Fort Worth shines squarely on Suarez.
Her production has been elite, but her leadership has been just as vital.
TCU isn’t sneaking up on anyone anymore; it's setting the standard in the Big 12.
Now the mission shifts from conference supremacy to tournament hardware and NCAA Tournament positioning. If Suarez continues to score at this clip and anchor both ends of the floor, the Horned Frogs won’t just be defending a title.
They’ll be chasing something bigger.
