The TCU women's basketball program, literally, does not have enough healthy players to field a roster for their next two games.
So, they were forced to forfeit both of those contests, which are conference matchups.
The university said the roster shortage stems from "injuries within the TCU program and ensure the health and safety of the program's student-athletes."

"Heartbroken for our players and fans. We will come back stronger from this," the official X account of the women's basketball program said.
The forfeits will not affect the team's overall record but will affect their conference win-loss record.
The games, which were against No. 7 Kansas State and No. 24 Iowa State, will not be rescheduled. Both the Wildcats and Cyclones will be credited with a victory.
