Madison Conner becomes 3rd TCU player after Hailey Van Lith and Sedona Prince to win elite honor 

Madison Conner, the 5-foot-11 guard has emerged as a cornerstone for TCU. She delivered a week of outstanding performances that propelled her to the top of the NCAA leaderboard in several categories. Conner earned the title of Big 12 Player of the Week for the second time this season.

She now joins the esteemed company of Sedona Prince, Lauren Heard and Zahna Medley as one of only four players in Horned Frogs history to earn multiple Big 12 weekly honors. Additionally, Conner became the third TCU athlete this season to win the Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week award, following the earlier achievements of Sedona Prince and Hailey Van Lith.

Last week, Conner averaged 28.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in two dominant wins for the Horned Frogs.

Madison Conner's historic week of long-range brilliance

Against Samford, Conner poured in 33 points, connecting on 8 of 16 attempts from beyond the arc. This outing marked her fifth career game with 30 or more points, a feat she achieved in just 39 appearances for TCU.

With this, she also surpassed Lauren Heard to become the program’s all-time leader in 30-point games. Her performance in TCU commanded a 103-64 victory, which extended their home nonconference winning streak to 22 games.

In the subsequent matchup against UCF, Conner scored 24 points and hit 5-of-10 from 3-point range. This marked the 12th time in her career she has made five or more 3-pointers in a single game. Her contributions helped TCU secure their largest margin of victory in a Big 12 road game with a 92-52 win.

Her exceptional week led in both total makes (53) and average per game (4.1). Over the last two seasons, no active Division I player has recorded more games with at least five made 3-pointers.

In the previous week, of Dec. 16-22, she averaged a nation-leading 28.5 points per game, shooting 50% from beyond the arc. The Horned Frogs, now boasting a 12-1 record, will return to action on Sunday in a home game against Brown (6-6) at Schollmaier Arena.

After the game against Brown, the Horned Frogs will host back-to-back conference games against Colorado and Cincinnati on Jan. 1 and Jan. 4.
