BOULDER, Colo. (AP) --- Jade Masogayo's three-point play with two seconds
remaining lifted Colorado to a stunning 80-79 victory over No. 14 TCU on
Sunday, denying the Horned Frogs a spot at the top of the Big 12 Conference.
After Donovyn Hunter's driving layup gave TCU a 79-77 lead with five seconds
remaining, Masogayo took a sideline inbounds pass, drove the right side of the
lane and made a short bank shot to tie the score. Kennedy Basham was called for
a foul on the play and Masogayo sank the and-1 for the win.
TCU led 76-70 after a layup by Olivia Miles with about three minutes remaining.
Colorado scored the next five points, then Miles made a free throw for a 77-75
lead with 50 seconds left. Masagayo made two tying free throws with 24 seconds
left.
Masaqayo scored a career-high 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting plus 9 of 10 free
throws. Desiree Wooten added 19 points, Logyn Greer 17 and Zyanna Walker 15 for
the Buffaloes (16-8, 7-5 Big 12). Masagayo topped her previous best of 22
points against TCU last season.
Miles matched her season high with 31 points. Marta Suarez scored 20 and Hunter
17 for TCU (21-4, 9-3). With a win, TCU would have shared first place with
15th-ranked Baylor, which is 10-2 in the conference.
TCU took its first lead of the game, 37-34, on a 3-pointer by Suarez to open
the third quarter. Colorado never led in the third but 10 points from Greer
helped keep it close, 67-62 heading to the fourth quarter.
Wooten scored 10 points in the first quarter and Colorado led 28-20 after one.
It was 34-all at halftime.
