Look up “classic” in the dictionary and this game is what you will read about. The TCU Lady Frogs hadn’t played an overtime game since a March 30, 2008 loss at Colorado, but now they have lots of practice. On the road, TCU outlasted the Utah Utes in a quadruple overtime conference matchup with a lot riding on the results. In the tight Mountain West women’s basketball standings, a Utah win would have put the Utes within one game of first, while first-place TCU wanted to really separate itself from the pack.
Despite a career-high 45 points from Kalee Whipple, thought to be a top WNBA prospect, the Lady Frogs turned a 37-29 halftime deficit into a 105-96 win in complete grind-it-out fashion. Eboni Mangum and Emily Carter contributed 25 points each in the mammoth effort. The 105points scored by TCU is the highest total ever for a Mountain West Conference game. The previous high was 98.
More details to come…
