The Olivia Miles Effect Has TCU Sitting Undefeated and Unbothered
In a season defined by standout performances and shifting power dynamics across collegiate athletics, the Texas Christian University (TCU) women's basketball program has emerged as one of the country's most compelling stories. Fueled by the historic statistical dominance of graduate guard Olivia Miles, the Horned Frogs have achieved an 11-0 record, placing them among the exclusive group of the nation’s final undefeated Division I teams.
Miles, a standout transfer, has cemented her name in both program and conference record books with a run of statistical mastery rarely seen at this level. In the team’s latest victory, an 89-49 win over Jacksonville, Miles recorded her second consecutive triple-double. This achievement made her the first Big 12 player in history to accomplish the feat in back-to-back games. Miles secured the historic performance by tallying 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in just 31 minutes of action.
This run of excellence is not an isolated event. Miles' two triple-doubles this season—including a similar line in a win over UTEP—represent her first with the TCU program and already account for two of the five total triple-doubles in the team's entire 49-year history. Her overall career total now stands at eight, positioning her fourth outright on the NCAA’s all-time list for career triple-doubles. The prolific guard has also set an NCAA record by starting the season with 11 straight games featuring at least 15 points and five assists, underscoring her consistency as a multifaceted offensive engine.
The team’s success goes beyond individual statistics, resting on a foundation of program consistency and control. With their recent win, the Horned Frogs extended their school-record home winning streak to 32 consecutive victories, a streak that ties for the longest active run in the nation.
Entering the final weeks of the non-conference schedule, TCU currently holds a spot at No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, remaining firmly within the top ten nationally. Their 11-0 start to the season represents the second time in three years under their current head coach that the program has achieved such a flawless run, solidifying their position as a top contender and making their undefeated campaign one of the most prominent narratives in women's college basketball. The focus now shifts to maintaining this elite status as they prepare to transition into the rigors of Big 12 conference play.
