Tulsa Golden Hurricane Set to Storm Past South Florida Bulls at Reynolds Center

As the Tulsa Golden Hurricane prepare to host the South Florida Bulls at the Donald W. Reynolds Center, fans can anticipate a thrilling encounter. The Golden Hurricane have been showcasing a strong performance trend, with their recent games indicating a team that's finding its rhythm.

In their last game against the 49ers, Tulsa clinched a narrow victory with 69 points against 67, demonstrating resilience and an ability to close out tight games. Their scoring was balanced across halves and they showed efficiency from both two-point range (59 percent) and overall field goals (51 percent). Moreover, their defensive efforts led to seven steals and they capitalized on turnovers by scoring 19 points off them.

However, in an away game versus the Shockers just prior, Tulsa struggled as they fell short with 63 points to Wichita State's 79. Despite shooting well inside (64 percent on two-point attempts), their three-point shooting was abysmal at just 10 percent. Turnovers were also a concern as they gave up possession 22 times which translated into 29 points for Wichita State.

But it's worth noting that in another recent home game against Rice Owls, Tulsa put up an impressive offensive display scoring 93 points in an overtime victory. They shot effectively from beyond the arc hitting nearly half of their three-point attempts (46 percent) and were clinical from the free-throw line at an impressive rate of 85 percent.

The upcoming matchup promises excitement as Tulsa looks to leverage its home-court advantage where they've shown strong offensive capabilities especially in clutch moments. The team will aim to maintain its shooting efficiency while tightening up ball security after high turnover numbers in past performances.

Fans can catch this exciting clash on March 9th at 2:00 PM local time at Donald W. Reynolds Center or stream it live via ESPN+.
