Tonight, we're looking at a power clash between the West Virginia Mountaineers (#17) and the TCU Horned Frogs (#10). Past records indicate enough back and forth to liven up this matchup.
The Mountaineers bring to bear the redoubtable skills of JJ Quinerly, who has racked up impressive points per game, both in the last month and throughout this season. Sydney Shaw and Jordan Harrison balance Quinerly's prowess with an average mid-double digit performance in points, while Kyah Watson has been commanding the boards with her impressive rebound figures.
On the other side, TCU's Sedona Prince and Hailey Van Lith are no slouches either, regularly posting significance presence in points and rebounds. And let's not forget Madison Conner, whose performance has been, well, consistently Connor- like. High points, strong engagement, and a propensity to make assists that leave their opponents clutching at air.
Study recent matchups, and the Mountaineers have somewhat more frequently had the Frogs' number. But don't start engraving defeat into TCU's tombstone yet. In this whirlwind world of women's basketball, the Frogs have a slightly stronger season record and a proud stable of top players that can swing the balance.
So, who'll emerge victorious? Well, just like my mother used to say about my ill-fated attempts to learn the piano, one can practice all they want, but it all comes down to the performance on the final day. With this considered, I tip my non-existent hat in favor of the Frog-ladies.
