<\/p>\nMORGANTOWN \u2014 Maybe it was \u201csenior-itis,\u201d the term used by WVU women\u2019s basketball coach Mark Kellogg in describing Mountaineers\u2019 point guard Jordan Harrison.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was a little up and down for us early,\u201d Kellogg continued. \u201cI\u2019m not really sure what was going on, but she\u2019s starting to find her groove.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harrison\u2019s groove has led the Mountaineers (14-3, 4-1 Big 12) to the cusp of getting back into the AP Top 25. WVU, which was ranked earlier in the season, sits at No. 26 this week, just two points shy of the honor.<\/p>\n
More importantly, WVU has won eight of its last nine games \u2013 four of those wins have come on the road \u2013 and the Mountaineers are right back in contention for a run at the top of the Big 12 standings.<\/p>\n
Just in time for No. 10 TCU (16-1, 4-1) to come rolling into Morgantown at 7 p.m. Wednesday with a loaded starting lineup. If there was ever a time for Harrison to be rolling in a groove, this is it.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was fantastic,\u201d Kellogg said after Harrison put up 19 points and eight assists to help the Mountaineers beat then-No. 11 Iowa State. \u201cThat stat line was fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harrison\u2019s run has gone longer than just one game, but to truly appreciate it, one has to go back to how WVU\u2019s point guard began the season.<\/p>\n
Over her first seven games, Harrison shot just 39% from the field. She also had to sit out one game due to her role in a shoving match against Duke.<\/p>\n
That likely seems like ages ago, because here\u2019s what Harrison is doing lately: She\u2019s shooting 49% from the field over her last nine games, while averaging 14.6 points and 6.1 assists per game.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s starting to play really well for us,\u201d Kellogg said.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the good news. The bad news is TCU comes into town as a program pushing to become the next dominant force in the Big 12. That spot was once held by Baylor, and after Texas left the conference to join the SEC, the Big 12 has sort of been a league up for grabs as far as who would set the standard.<\/p>\n
The Horned Frogs, behind head coach Mark Campbell, began making their case last season. Campbell\u2019s success at recruiting high-profile players out of the transfer portal led to the likes of Hailey Van Lith joining Sedona Prince at TCU last season and the program advanced all the way to the Elite Eight.<\/p>\n
A season later, TCU is right back in the national rankings with former Notre Dame All-American Olivia Miles leading the way. Miles was the the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year after scoring 1,430 points during her career with the Fighting Irish. Miles leads TCU in scoring this season at 19.5 points per game.<\/p>\n
Clara Silva is also making an impact at TCU in her first season. The 6-foot-7 (that\u2019s not a typo) transfer from Kentucky is averaging 10.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s also Cal transfer Marta Suarez, a 6-3 forward who is averaging 17.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n
Slowing down one is a chore, but containing all three is rarely done. TCU comes into the game averaging 84 points per game and is the No. 1 scoring defense in the Big 12, holding opponents to just 52.1 points.<\/p>\n
