TCU’s Miles and Suarez Become Second NCAA Teammates to Secure Three Consecutive Triple‑Doubles

In a 109‑54 rout of Arkansas‑Pine Bluff, TCU’s graduate transfers Olivia Miles and Marta Suarez each recorded a triple‑double, marking the second time in NCAA Division I history that teammates have achieved three straight triple‑doubles in the same game.

A Historic Performance

The undefeated Horned Frogs entered the game with a perfect 12‑0 record and a 33‑game home‑winning streak, the longest active streak in the nation. They opened the contest with two baskets in the first 41 seconds, both assisted by Miles. Miles finished with a season‑high 25 points, 10 points and 11 assists, while Suarez posted 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Both players were in their first season with TCU and had already made an impact. Miles needed five more minutes to complete her ninth career triple‑double, and Suarez secured hers on consecutive defensive possessions, leaving the game with 8:38 remaining.

The Triple‑Double Streak

Miles has now achieved three consecutive triple‑doubles, joining only Chastadie Barrs of Lamar (January 2019) and Danielle Carson of Youngstown State (ended December 2, 1985) as the only Division I women’s players with such a streak. Her nine career triple‑doubles are the most for an active player, trailing only Sabrina Ionescu (26) and Caitlin Clark (17).

The streak also includes a 15‑point, 11‑rebound, 10‑assist outing against Jacksonville two days earlier, and a 15‑point, 10‑rebound, 11‑assist performance against UTEP a week prior. Miles extended an NCAA record with her 12th consecutive game at the start of a season featuring at least 15 points and five assists.

Suarez’s First Career Triple‑Double

Suarez earned her first career triple‑double in her 114th college game, which was also her 12th with TCU. The 20‑point, 10‑rebound, 10‑assist game marked a milestone for the former Tennessee and California guard.

Program History and Records

Before this three‑game stretch, TCU had recorded only three triple‑doubles in its first 48 seasons. Sandora Irvin posted the program’s first on January 6, 2005, and Helena Sverrisdottir recorded two—January 2, 2010 and February 17, 2011.

According to OptaSTATS, TCU is the first NBA, WNBA or Division I men’s or women’s team to register four triple‑doubles in a three‑game span since the Los Angeles Lakers (December 28‑31, 2021) when Russell Westbrook had three and LeBron James one.

Comparisons and Context

The Horned Frogs’ recent triple‑double run echoes a similar achievement by UT‑Arlington teammates Koi Love and Avery Brittingham, who posted triple‑doubles in a win over Wiley College on December 30. That game was a home contest for the Lady Mavs, played only about 20 miles from the TCU campus.

TCU’s 12‑game undefeated streak and 33‑game home‑winning run underscore the program’s rapid rise. The team’s dominant performance against Pine Bluff, highlighted by Miles’ early assists and Suarez’s defensive impact, showcases the depth and versatility of the roster.

Key Takeaways

• Olivia Miles and Marta Suarez became the second set of NCAA Division I teammates to record three consecutive triple‑doubles in the same game.
• Miles’ nine career triple‑doubles rank third among active players, behind Ionescu and Clark.
• TCU is the first team in NBA, WNBA, or Division I history to achieve four triple‑doubles in a three‑game span since the 2021 Lakers.

The Horned Frogs’ continued success, combined with the historic performances of Miles and Suarez, signals a bright future for the program and adds a new chapter to the annals of women’s college basketball.
