TCU defeated Baylor 51-48 to claim the program's first Big 12 women's basketball regular season title.

The matchup between the Horned Frogs and the Bears marked the first time in league history that a winner-take-all game took place on the final day of the regular season. It was just the fourth time since the 1999-2000 season that a major conference had two teams play a winner-take-all game on the final day of the regular season and the first time since 2021.

The Horned Frogs (28-3, 16-2) end the regular season with a 6-2 record in top-25 contests and set program records for total wins, Big 12 wins and home wins. TCU becomes the second Big 12 team in Conference history to win a regular season title within two seasons of finishing in last place. The Horned Frogs will be the top seed in the 2025 Big 12 Women's Basketball Championship at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. TCU will play in the Quarterfinals on Friday, March 7, at 1:30 p.m. CT on ESPNU.
