Clemson Tigers to Compete at Leonard E. Merrell Center Against Tulsa Golden Hurricane in Women's Basketball

As the Clemson Tigers prepare to take on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at the Leonard E. Merrell Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent high-scoring trend in women's basketball.

The Tigers have shown a dynamic offense in their past games, with a particularly impressive performance against Longwood Lancers where they scored 102 points. Their shooting was on point, with field goal percentages of 55 and three-point percentages of 40. They also demonstrated strong defensive play with 12 steals and an overwhelming rebounding advantage, grabbing 45 rebounds compared to Longwood's 27.


However, consistency has been an issue for Clemson as seen in their game against the top-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks where they struggled significantly. The Tigers only managed to score 40 points while allowing a staggering 109 points against them. Their field goal percentage dropped alarmingly to just over 22 percent and they were outrebounded by almost three times.


Despite this setback, the team showed resilience and bounced back in their next game against Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs by putting up a close fight before falling short by just three points with a final score of 78-81. This game highlighted Clemson's improved shooting accuracy from both inside and outside the arc as well as better ball distribution which resulted in an assist-turnover ratio of over one.


The upcoming match at Leonard E. Merrell Center presents another opportunity for Clemson Tigers to showcase their offensive prowess while tightening up defense after learning from past performances.


Fans can catch all the action on November 26th at Leonard E. Merrell Center located in Katy, Texas or tune into local broadcasts for live coverage of what promises to be an exciting encounter between these two teams.
