TCU women could play much of March at home after Big 12 Tournament

TCU opened March with a 42nd straight home win to repeat as Big 12 regular-season champions, and the team is positioned to host early NCAA women's tournament rounds on campus with a possible Sweet 16 at nearby Dickies Arena.

TCU opened March with another home victory, extending its streak to 42 games and repeating as Big 12 regular-season champions. The Horned Frogs (27-4) head to Kansas City this week for the Big 12 Tournament, where they have a double-bye into the quarterfinals on Friday. The team is in line to host first- and second-round NCAA women's tournament games on campus as it did last season. If TCU advances to the Sweet 16, it could then play at Dickies Arena near downtown Fort Worth, about three miles from their home arena. Key details: - TCU's home winning streak reached 42 games since February 2024, matching No. 4 Texas for the nation's longest active streak. - The Horned Frogs are 27-4 and repeated as outright Big 12 regular-season champions. - Olivia Miles, a transfer who chose TCU for her final college season, and Marta Suarez were noted as key contributors to the current roster. - The NCAA selection committee's second reveal placed TCU 11th overall and slotted them as a No. 3 seed in a Fort Worth bracket; an earlier reveal had them 12th and a No. 3 seed in a Sacramento regional. - Coach Mark Campbell described the possibility of hosting as a "golden opportunity," citing past examples of teams that benefited from playing early rounds at home. - TCU is the defending Big 12 Tournament champion and does not play in Kansas City until the quarterfinal round on Friday because of a double-bye. Summary: If TCU secures hosting as currently projected and advances, the team could play first- and second-round NCAA games on campus and a Sweet 16 in Fort Worth, keeping much of its postseason local. The immediate next step is the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals in Kansas City on Friday, and further placement in the NCAA tournament will depend on results and official committee decisions.
