FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) --- Olivia Miles scored 16 points, Clara Silva had 15
points and 11 rebounds and No. 10 TCU extended its home winning streak to 37
games with a 78-62 victory over Arizona on Saturday.
The Horned Frogs (18-1, 6-1 Big 12) tied No. 4 Texas for the nation's longest
current home winning streak while holding a 30th consecutive opponent under 70
points. The last team to score 70 against TCU was the Wildcats in their 85-73
loss at home last February.
Miles was 1 of 8 from 3-point range, but her only make broke a 35-35 tie and
put the Horned Frogs up for good in the third quarter. The graduate transfer
from Notre Dame had seven assists while finishing 4 of 14 from the field and
making all seven of her free throws.
Sumayah Sugapong scored 17 points and Achol Magot added 12 for the Wildcats
(10-7, 1-5), who were outscored 50-32 in the second half after leading 30-28 at
the break.
TCU scored the first 11 points of the fourth quarter for a 66-48 lead. Miles
assisted on a 3-pointer from Donovyn Hunter, before Veronica Sheffey forced an
Arizona timeout with a steal and layup. Hunter scored 12 points, and Sheffey
had 11.
Coming out of the timeout, TCU's Taylor Bigby caught an errant inbound pass and
drove for a layup before Silva finished the run with a layup off another
turnover. The 6-foot-7 center from Portugal had her fifth double-double of the
season.
The Wildcats' Adebanjo Blessing scored nine points before fouling out with 1:21
remaining in the third quarter.
Up next
Arizona: Home against Kansas on Tuesday.
TCU: No. 14 Ohio State in the Coretta Scott King Classic in New Jersey on
Monday.
