TCU Stuns Washington in Overtime Heartbreaker, Advances to Sweet 16
The Washington Huskies women's basketball team came up just short in a brutal overtime loss to TCU, falling 62-59 in the second round of March Madness on March 22, 2026. It was the kind of game that keeps you up at night, the kind where one possession here or there changes everything. The Frogs punched their ticket back to the Sweet 16 while the Huskies' tournament run came to an end.
How It Came Down to OT
This wasn't a blowout. This was a heavyweight fight. Brynn McGaughy delivered a clutch shot for Washington that sent the game to overtime, keeping the Huskies alive when they could have gone home. The energy was there, the fight was there, but TCU had just enough when it mattered most. In a tournament where every possession counts and every shot could be your last, Washington didn't get quite enough stops when they needed them.
The OT Heartbreak
Once the game went to overtime, TCU's Olivia Miles took over. Miles capped off a 7-0 run to start the extra period with an and-1 that essentially ended the game. That's the difference between dancing and going home. Washington tried to keep pace, with Sayvia Sellers hitting a 3-pointer and Donovyn Hunter making nice plays, but it wasn't quite enough to overcome the Frogs in that critical stretch.
TCU is heading back to the Sweet 16 for a second straight year. Washington's season is over. That's tournament basketball in March.
