Opening Tip
- TCU hosts Rice in a rematch from a 2022 tilt that saw the Owls defeat the Horned Frogs 68-58 on Dec. 2 in Houston.
- Rice is likely the toughest foe TCU will draw during nonconference play. The Owls concluded the 2022-23 campaign with a 23-9 record and reached the second round of the WNIT.

- TCU is the only Power Five conference team whose starting five is comprised entirely of first-year transfers.
- The Horned Frogs starting lineup featuring Madison Conner, Agnes Emma-Nnopu, Una Jovanovic, Jaden Owens, and Sedona Prince has accounted for 77 percent (124-162) of TCU's scoring through its first two games. The quintent is collectively averaging 62 points, 28 rebounds, eight assists and five steals per night and produced has four double-doubles.
- TCU has had two players finish with double-doubles in each of its two outings. The Horned Frogs lead the Big 12 in double-doubles (four) and are the lone program to produce two double-doubles in multiple games.
- Sedona Prince and Agnes Emma-Nnopu delivered double-doubles in the Horned Frogs' 48-point win against TAMU-Kingsville on Wednesday. Prince finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
- Emma-Nnopu earned her first career double-double behind a 14-point, 10-rebound, four-steal, three-assist effort. Emma-Nnopu set career-highs in rebounds and steals.
- TCU drained 14 three-pointers in Wednesday's win vs. TAMU-Kingsville. The 14 long balls were the program's most in a game in five seasons.
- TCU canned eight of its 3-pointers in the first half of Wednesday's game to pace itself to a 48-16 halftime lead.
- Madison Conner has connected on 11-25 attempts (.440) from behind the arc. She went 6-13 from distance in TCU's season-opener and tallied a game high five triples on Wednesday.
