TCU’s offense, led by senior center Sedona Prince, has been a dominant force all season. Even on a night when her signature three-point shooting wasn’t at its best, they found other ways to win. The No. 10 Horned Frogs secured the 82-66 victory over Arizona State Wednesday night, proving their ability to adapt when shots from deep weren’t falling.
Sedona Prince, TCU Adjust to Shooting Struggles
Despite being the nation’s most prolific three-point shooting team, TCU struggled from beyond the arc, hitting only seven of the team’s 22 attempts. Arizona State managed to stay in the game until the fourth quarter, but TCU’s overall shooting efficiency made the difference.
The Horned Frogs shot 56% from the field and outscored the Sun Devils 38-18 in the final period to secure their fourth consecutive win. With this victory, they tied the program’s single-season record for wins at 25, a mark achieved only twice before.
TCU has been dominant from long range this season, leading the country with 275 made three-pointers. However, Wednesday’s game showed that they don’t necessarily need to rely on their perimeter shooting to win.
Prince played a crucial role in the second half, adding 17 points to help her team pull away. The Horned Frogs now look ahead to a high-stakes matchup against No. 17 West Virginia on Sunday, while Arizona State is set to face BYU on Saturday.
Off-Court Allegations Against Sedona Prince
Off the court, Prince has been at the center of controversy following a reported altercation last month involving a woman she previously dated. Both individuals filed police reports accusing each other of assault, but no charges have been filed at this time.
Prince’s attorney, A. Boone Almanza, confirmed that campus police responded to an incident at Prince’s off-campus residence on Jan. 18 after she made a call for assistance.
The Washington Post recently reported on additional allegations of abuse against Prince, including one from a former girlfriend last year. That accusation sparked social media backlash and led to a petition demanding her removal from the TCU team.
Through her attorney, Prince has denied all allegations, maintaining that she has never engaged in any form of abuse.
“Unfortunately, others have decided to use Sedona as a launch point for their careers,” Almanza stated.

This is not the first time Prince has made national headlines. The 24-year-old, now in her seventh and final year of college basketball, gained widespread attention in 2021 when she highlighted inequities between the men’s and women’s NCAA tournament facilities.
She was also involved in a landmark antitrust lawsuit aimed at securing compensation for college athletes.
As TCU prepares for a crucial game against the Mountaineers, Prince remains an important figure both on and off the court. However, the ongoing controversy surrounding her personal life raises questions about her basketball future. For now, the focus remains on the Horned Frogs’ pursuit of a deep postseason run.
