This meeting marks the 41st time Tulane and Tulsa have faced each other. Tulane leads the series with 28 wins to Tulsa’s 13, but Tulsa has claimed victory in their last four encounters, including a close 76-73 win earlier this season in New Orleans on January 6. The last two games played in Tulsa also ended in favor of the Golden Hurricane. Tulane’s most recent win over Tulsa came on February 12, 2023.
Tulsa enters the contest with a record of 17-9 overall and a conference record of 9-6. The team recently broke a three-game losing streak with a home win over UAB, finishing that game at 59-55 on February 20. The Golden Hurricane averages 68.8 points per game and shoots at a rate of 41.7 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc. They average just over 37 rebounds and about twelve assists per game. Mady Cartwright leads Tulsa with an average of 15.5 points and contributes an average of 2.4 assists per game, while Hannah Riddick is their top rebounder at seven boards per contest.
Tulane holds a season record of ten wins and sixteen losses, with five victories in conference play out of fourteen games so far this year. The Green Wave comes into this match after consecutive wins against Memphis last week. Tulane averages just over sixty-six points per game while shooting forty percent from the field and nearly twenty-nine percent from three-point range.
The Green Wave ranks fifth in its conference for rebounding with almost forty boards per game, second for assists at nearly fifteen per contest, and fourth for blocks at just under four per game. Kanija Daniel leads Tulane scorers with an average of eleven points; Amira Mabry and Mecailin Marshall both contribute just over ten points each.
On defense during league play, Tulane allows an average of sixty-three points—fourth best among conference teams—and limits opponents to under twenty-seven percent shooting from three-point range as well as less than thirty-nine percent overall.
Earlier today, two Tulane players received weekly recognition from their conference: Shiloh Kimpson was named American Freshman of the Week for her performance against Memphis where she recorded her first career double-double (twelve points, ten assists) along with six rebounds—all career highs—and contributed to more than half her team’s total score either by scoring or assisting during that win over Memphis: “Kimpson assisted on or scored thirty-five of Tulane’s sixty-nine points in the win over the Tigers.” She became “the first Wave player with ten assists in a game since Sneed dished out eleven last season against Florida on November twenty-eighth.”
Graduate student CC Mays is approaching one thousand career points; she currently stands at nine hundred seventy-seven—just twenty-three shy of reaching that milestone mark—while teammate Mabry recently passed it earlier this season and now ranks twenty-ninth all-time among program scorers.
Tulane’s next home fixture will take place Saturday when they host Wichita State; note that tip-off has been moved up one hour to start at one o’clock instead of two o’clock local time.
