TCU is your 2025 #Big12WBB Champion!

TCU leads Baylor 30-19 at halftime of the #Big12WBB Championship. A few key stats: - The Horned Frogs held the Bears to just eight points in the second quarter - Baylor is shooting 26% from the field - TCU is outrebounding Baylor 21-9. @thenext.bsky.social

TCU leads Baylor 15-11 through one quarter of play in the #Big12WBB Championship. Both teams have brought the defensive pressure forcing four and six turnovers each. @thenext.bsky.social

It'll be No. 1 seed TCU and No. 2 seed Baylor for the #Big12WBB Tournament Championship tomorrow at 4 p.m. CT. @thenext.bsky.social

Another timeout. Baylor up 81-74 with 30.5 left in OT. #Big12WBB

Baylor takes a timeout up 79-74 with 33.6 seconds left in overtime. Winner here will face TCU for the Big 12 Tournament Championship. #Big12WBB | @thenext.bsky.social

Waiata Jennings knocks down another trey to extend the Baylor lead to 79-72 with just over a minute remaining. #Big12WBB

Back-to-back three-pointers give Baylor a little bit of a cushion, but they lose Aliyah Matharu on the other end to her fifth foul. 2:20 left in OT - Baylor leads OSU 76-71 #Big12WBB | @thenext.bsky.social

On-court moves aren't the only moves happening at the Big 12 Tournament this week. Three programs in the conference have already announced head coaching changes. Our @kgier.bsky.social runs down who's out and why:

Baylor's Aaronette Vonleh scores the first two baskets in overtime. She has 37 (14-for-25) and six rebounds, but just picked up her fourth foul. #Big12WBB

We are headed to overtime for the first time in Kansas City! Baylor and Oklahoma State are tied at 66-66 at the end of regulation. Baylor is playing without Bella Fontleroy and OSU is without Tenin Magassa who fouled out in the 4th quarter. #Big12WBB | @thenext.bsky.social

Two first-quarter fouls for Baylor's Yaya Felder. Down 19-12, it will be interesting to see how they use the senior before the half. She has four points (2-for-3) and a rebound in seven minutes. #Big12WBB

Last night, Oklahoma State's Stailee Heard set a #Big12WBB Tournament record with 19 made free throws. Tonight she's getting it done behind the other line with three first-quarter treys. She has nine of the Cowgirls' 17 early.
