TCU women’s basketball to host open tryouts after canceling two games

TCU is holding an open tryout for walk-on players to join its women’s basketball team.

The program posted about the event on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday afternoon after news broke that morning that two TCU women’s basketball games were canceled because the team doesn’t have enough players.

The open tryout will be held on Thursday and Friday for full-time students at the university who pass a physical and have high school basketball experience.

‘Per Conference rule, the member institution unable to field a team will forfeit the contest if no extraordinary circumstances exist,’ the conference said in a statement.

Kansas State and Iowa State both pick up a win with the Horned Frogs taking two losses, all in league standings. The overall records for the three teams will not be affected, per NCAA policy.

Guard Jaden Owens suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in Saturday’s loss to Houston. She is a graduate student and the injury ends her season and her college basketball career.

The school said it will not be giving refunds for tickets for Wednesday’s game. Fans can exchange tickets for an available home game left on the schedule.
