Four Frogs with double-digit scoring efforts on Saturday

FORT WORTH – TCU's Lauren Heard scored a team-high 17 points and dished out her 500th career assist, but it wasn't enough as the No. 9-ranked Iowa Cyclones earned a 93-70 Big 12 Conference win over the Horned Frogs Saturday afternoon at Schollmaier Arena.

THE RUNDOWN
The Horned Frogs registered a season-low five turnovers and outscored the Cyclones 30-22 in the paint, but ISU countered with 19 three-pointers on the way to earning the road victory. TCU shot 40 percent or better from the field for the third time in the past five games, but the Cyclones registered 36 three-point attempts on the day, netting a tick better than 52 percent from beyond the arc.

• TCU totaled single-digit turnovers (5) for the first time this season and for the first time since giving up just nine turnovers to Kansas State back on Feb. 10 of last season.
• It marked the least number of turnovers in a game for the Horned Frogs in the Raegan Pebley era … the previous low was six turnovers against Iowa State back in the 2019-20 season.

• Mokwuah tied her career-high at TCU with 12 points. She was 6-of-10 overall and also managed to tie for the team lead with five rebounds.
