The Golden Hurricane have shown a mix of resilience and skill in their past few games, which could be pivotal as they play away from home.

In their last outing against East Carolina Pirates, Tulsa fell short with a score of 57-62. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways: they shot a solid 56 percent from two-point range and an impressive 78 percent from the free-throw line.

The team demonstrated strong offensive capabilities by maintaining a field goal percentage of 42 and converting on 35 percent of three-point attempts.

As we approach this upcoming clash, it's clear that while turnovers have been problematic for Tulsa in some games, their ability to shoot efficiently from both inside and beyond the arc could be key factors in overcoming Charlotte's home-court advantage.
