Olivia Miles delivered a double-double on Sunday, registering 18 points and 10 rebounds to lift No. 3 seed TCU over No. 6 Washington 62-59 in an overtime Women's March Madness thriller.
The 31-5 Horned Frogs subsequently advanced to the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season, extending its home winning streak to 44 games. TCU has now tied No. 1 seed Texas for the NCAA's longest active winning streak.
Miles had just four points at halftime, before taking over down the stretch. However, she missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer in regulation.
"I was crashing out multiple times. I was angry, I was feeling all the emotions because I didn't want to go home," the Notre Dame transfer said postgame. "It'd be a disservice for me not to be resilient for them, and for myself."
TCU's Clara Silva scored 16 points, including the go-ahead layup to start overtime. Silva also hit game-tying and tie-breaking baskets late in regulation, while Taylor Bigby added 15 points in the second-round win.
Sayvia Sellers led 22-11 Washington with 18 points, but missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer as time expired in overtime. Huskies guard Avery Howell scored 14 points while Brynn McGaughy added 13.
