WACO, Texas (AP) --- Olivia Miles poured in career highs with 40 points and 10
3-pointers to lead No. 17 TCU 83-67 over No. 12 Baylor on Thursday.
Miles scored 10 points in the first half before an outrageous, 23-point third
quarter in which she went 7 of 9 from behind the arc, and accounted for all but
two of the Horned Frogs' 25 points.
She turned a four-point halftime lead into a 13-point advantage by the end of
the third, scoring the most points in a single quarter by any Division-I player
since Caitlin Clark on Feb. 15, 2024.
Miles is also the first Division-I player in the last 25 years to make 10
3-pointers on the road against a ranked opponent, per ESPN.
She hit her 10th 3-pointer with 5:31 left in the fourth quarter. It's her
second-straight game with 31 or more, in a season in which she's never scored
fewer than 12 points in a game.
Marta Suarez also added 27 points to go with six rebounds for the Horned Frogs
(22-4, 10-3 Big 12).
Taliah Scott led the Bears (21-5, 10-3) with 22 points on 5-of-10 shooting, and
crossed the 1,000-point threshold for her career. Jana Van Gytenbeek had 14
points to go with six assists. Darianna Littlepage-Buggs scored 14 to go with
five rebounds and two blocks.
