FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Marta Suarez had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Olivia Miles scored 18 points and No. 10 TCU won its school-record 28th consecutive home game, beating Tarleton State 80-32 on Thursday night.
The Horned Frogs (5-0) haven’t lost in Schollmaier Arena since falling 77-52 to West Virginia on Feb. 13, 2024. They had matched their previous record of 27 home wins in a row, from January 2008 to December 2010, with a 122-39 win over Tennessee State in their previous home game on Nov. 12 — the most lopsided victory in school history.
TCU was coming off a 69-59 win at then-No. 10 N.C. State on Sunday for its first win on the road against a ranked nonconference opponent since January 2011. That was the only road game so far this season for the Frogs.
Tarleton State’s only lead was 1-0 on Elodie Lutbert’s free throw in the opening minute. A 3-pointer by Miles started a run of 15 consecutive points to put the Frogs firmly in control for the rest of the night.
Taylor Bigby also had 18 points, and Donovyn Hunter scored 10 for TCU. They both made more than 20 starts last season, when the Frogs won a school-record 34 games and the Big 12 title and made it to the Elite Eight of the women’s NCAA Tournament.
The Texans shot 15.5% (9 of 58) from the field, and Lutbert was their high scorer with seven points on 3-of-15 shooting. She made only the first of her seven free-throw attempts.
Up next
TCU, which matched Norfolk State for the longest active home winning streak, is home again Sunday to play UT-Rio Grande Valley. Tarleton is at Texas State on Tuesday night.
