Wooten scores 19 as Horned Frogs notch 78-53 win over Gaels
FORT WOTH – 15th-ranked TCU started slow but turned it up late on its way to a 78-53 triumph over Iona on Tuesday at Schollmaier Arena.
Â
The Horned Frogs (4-0) outscored the Gaels 52-25 over the final 26 minutes of the ballgame. Iona (1-3) stayed within single digits of TCU, which notched its NCAA-leading 48th consecutive home win, as late as the 1:53 mark of the third quarter. Up 49-41, TCU ripped off a 17-0 run over the ensuing five minutes to make the end result academic.
Â
Jadyn Wooten led the Frogs with 19 points on 8-11 shooting.
Â
Lara Somfai notched her second double-double of her sophomore campaign, pairing a game-high 14 rebounds with 12 points.Â
Â
Clara Silva finished with 10 points – nine of which came in the fourth quarter – and eight rebounds.
Â
TCU hammered Iona on the glass, outrebounding the Gaels 46-22, and forced 19 turnovers.
Â
Three-point shooting proved to be the great equalizer early on and a facet of the game that prevented the Horned Frogs from creating quick separation. TCU, which leads the country in 3-pointers since 2023-24 with 1,034, misfired on its first 11 attempts from behind the arc. The Frogs did not connect from distance until there was 1:29 remaining in the second frame when Lanie Grant drilled a deep ball from the left key.Â
Â
Grant's deep ball was the midpoint of a 14-2 TCU run to close the first half that put the Frogs ahead 40-30.
Â
Meanwhile, the Gaels raced out to an early 15-7 edge via a trio of 3-pointers over the game's first five minutes. Their fourth 3-pointer of the night inched Iona back in front one final time, 28-26, with 4:00 remaining before the break.
Â
Somfai capped a 16-4 TCU run early in the second quarter with five straight points. Foul trouble inhibited the 6-3 sophomore from further imposing her will. Somfai racked up seven points and as many rebounds in the first half. She picked up her third foul early in the second quarter and played the bulk of the second half with four.Â
Â
Wooten and Somfai buried a trio of 3-pointers – two via Wooten – out of the intermission. Jessie-May Hall scored five of TCU's last seven points in the third quarter as the Horned Frogs took a 56-41 lead into the final frame.
Â
It was Silva's show from there, as the Preseason All-Big 12 Team center scored on TCU's first four trips down the court.
Â
TCU shot 64 percent (25-39) from inside the arc and amassed 46 points inside the paint. The Frogs connected at a 49 percent clip over the final 30 minutes.Â
Â
Bella Hines dished out a game-high five assists, marking the third time in four outings the sophomore guard has dropped at least five dimes.
Â
Iona's Chloe Vasquez led all scorers with 20 points.
Â
TCU started a season 4-0 for the fourth straight year and eighth time in program history with the win.Â
Â
The Horned Frogs continue their season-opening homestand on Thursday against Southeastern Louisiana (1-1) in a game that will tip off at 6:30 p.m.Â
