Five different Frogs contributed to the scoring, which started with Bella Cravens grabbing her own offensive rebound and scoring a layup for the Frogs' first bucket of the game. She tallied four of her seven rebounds in the first quarter.
The Frogs led until 1:25 remaining in the first quarter and ended the period trailing 17-16. TCU outshot Kansas from the field in the first period and outrebounded them 12-6.
TCU and Kansas traded leads in the second quarter. Lucy Ibeh scored six points in the period, including a driving layup to put the Frogs up 30-28 with 4:46 remaining.
Starting the third period down six, TCU struggled to score and was outshot by Kansas .692-.200. The Frogs ended the third period down 63-43, but continued to fight throughout the fourth period. Tomi Taiwo scored eight of her 19 points in the quarter, but Kansas' lead was too much for the comeback.
