The Associated Press 3 minute read Yesterday at 11:57 PM CST

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Olivia Miles had her third consecutive triple-double for No. 9 TCU and Marta Suarez had the first in her career, making them only the second set of NCAA Division I teammates to do that in the same game.

The graduate transfers in their first season with the undefeated Horned Frogs pulled that off in a 109-54 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Tuesday night. Miles had a season-high 25 points, along with 10 points and 11 assists, while Suarez had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

UT-Arlington teammates Koi Love and Avery Brittingham had triple-doubles in a win over Wiley College last Dec. 30, a home game for the Lady Mavs at their arena only about 20 miles from the TCU campus.

Andrew Paul’s 1-yard run off a direct snap gave the Gamecocks a 17-13 lead with 5:44 remaining. With about a minute left, Tucker Kilcrease drove Troy past midfield but his Hail Mary pass-attempt to DJ Epps on the final play was knocked down in the end zone.

Creel completed 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards that included a 22-yard touchdown pass to Brock Rechsteiner in the first quarter. Garrison Rippa added a 51-yard field goal in the third for Jacksonville State (9-5).

Kilcrease was 12-of-23 passing for 116 yards and threw two interceptions for Troy (8-6), which ended a 79-game win streak when leading heading into the fourth quarter.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lauren Betts had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Kiki Rice added 23 points to lead No. 4 UCLA to a 115-28 win Tuesday over Cal Poly.

UCLA's 87-point margin of victory was the fourth largest in program history. The Bruins beat UC San Diego by record 97 points (117-20) on Jan. 11, 1975

Betts’ younger sister, freshman forward Sienna Betts, made her much-anticipated debut with the Bruins after suffering a lower left leg injury in an October scrimmage.

UCLA (10-1) started the rout early as the Mustangs — whose tallest starter is listed at 6-foot — had no answer for the 6-foot-7 Lauren Betts inside the paint at Pauley Pavilion. UCLA has won four in a row since its 76-65 loss to Texas on Nov. 26. The Mustangs (2-8) have lost four in a row.
