The latest triple-double came eight days after Miles had 15 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a 95-40 win over UTEP. She also had at least 15 points and five assists in all 11 games, an NCAA early-season record.

Clara Silva scored 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Horned Frogs, who led by just seven points at the start of the second half before going on a 17-2 run. Marta Suarez finished with 15 points.

Mychal White scored 17 points for Jacksonville (7-2), including 14 on 13 free throws.

As TCU scored 14 straight points in 4 1/2 minutes midway through the third quarter, Myers drained a 3-pointer and layup while assisting on three of the other four baskets. The Frogs led 50-28 when Myers got a defensive rebound, reversed, and passed a cross-court pass to Suarez, who scored for a layup.
