No. 14 TCU Falls in Final Seconds at Colorado
2/8/2026 6:21:00 PM | Women's Basketball
BOULDER, Colo. – No. 14 TCU suffered another one-possession loss away from home in the final seconds of play on Sunday, falling 80-79 to Colorado at the CU Events Center.
Up 79-77 with five seconds to go, Jade Masogayo beat a TCU defender off the dribble and converted an and-one to lift the Buffaloes (16-8, 7-5 Big 12) past the Horned Frogs.
With two seconds remaining and TCU down a point, the Horned Frogs (21-4, 9-3 Big 12) drew up a 3-point attempt for Olivia Miles. But the shot clanged off the side of the backboard, sending TCU to its third loss in its last six games
The Horned Frogs' last three defeats have come by a grand total of five points.
Miles scored a career-high 31 points on 11-19 shooting. Of her points, 22 came in the second half.
The national player of the year candidate twice staked TCU to an eight-point lead in the second half. Miles first buried a step back three midway through the third to put TCU ahead 47-39. A fast break layup from Miles later gave TCU a 74-66 edge with 6:50 to go in the game.
TCU maintained a multi-possession advantage as late as the 2:33 marker in the final frame after Miles drilled a jumper to make the score 76-70.
Colorado rallied to even the game at 77-77 with 24 seconds to go. Hunter drove right and finished a layup on a one-on-one action in TCU's penultimate possession.
The loss reduced TCU's margin of error in its quest to repeat as Big 12 champions. The Horned Frogs now trail No. 15 Baylor by one game in the conference standings ahead of a 6 p.m. showdown on Thursday vs. the Bears in Waco. TCU will twice face Baylor and has home tilts lined up vs. No. 18 West Virginia and Audi Crooks and Iowa State over its final six games in the regular season.
Miles, Marta Suarez and Donovyn Hunter accounted for 68 of TCU's 79 points.
Suarez netted 20 points and five rebounds across 26 minutes. The Spaniard fouled out with four minutes remaining and TCU nursing a 74-70 lead.
Hunter added 17 points and finished 8-12 from the field.
TCU hung 33 points on the Buffaloes in the third period – its most in any quarter in a Big 12 game over the last three seasons – to go on top 67-62 entering the fourth. Miles scored 14 while Hunter put nine points of her own on the board.
The Horned Frogs fell behind 28-17 late in the opening frame but rallied to level the score at 34-34 entering the intermission. TCU closed the first half on a 14-4 run.
Defense has been TCU's calling card all season. But it ultimately undid the Horned Frogs in the Rocky Mountains.
TCU gave up 28 points in the first and third quarters and was outscored 18-12 in the fourth. Colorado scored on each of its final five possessions. The Buffaloes' 80 points scored were their most in a league game this season.
The Horned Frogs connected at a 54 percent clip from the field and converted 19-33 attempts (57 percent) in the second half.
Free throws loomed large in dictating the end result. The Buffaloes doubled up the Horned Frogs at the charity stripe, knocking down 16-18 attempts compared to an 8-9 mark for TCU.
Masogayo led Colorado with 23 points. She was one of four Buffaloes to score at least 15 points. Desiree Wooten scored 12 of her 19 points in the first quarter. Logyn Greer and Zyanna Walker added 17 and 15, respectively.
Up Next
TCU still controls its destiny for the Big 12 title and an opportunity to host first and second round games in the NCAA Tournament despite Sunday's loss. Wins over the Bears and Mountaineers in the Frogs' next two games guarantee TCU at least a share of first place in the conference standings. TCU hosts West Virginia at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 15 following its trek to Waco.
