Memphis Tigers Set to Host Tulsa Golden Hurricane at Elma Roane Fieldhouse in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Memphis Tigers prepare to face off against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are eager for a glimpse of what might unfold on December 30th. The anticipation is palpable, and with good reason. The Memphis Tigers have shown flashes of brilliance this season, but consistency has been their Achilles' heel.
In their last encounter with Mississippi State Bulldogs on December 17th, the Tigers fell short by a significant margin, scoring 63 points to the Bulldogs' 81. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways for Memphis. Their assists-to-turnover ratio was higher than in previous games – a sign that they're beginning to find each other on the court with more precision.
However, it's clear that shooting accuracy needs improvement; hitting just under 29 percent from the field won't cut it against teams like Tulsa. The three-point shooting was average at best – making only one-third of attempts – and free throw performance was lackluster at 50 percent completion.
On December 10th against Southern Miss Lady Eagles, though narrowly edging out a win with a score of 69-67, MEM showed resilience and an ability to close out tight games. They improved their field goal percentage slightly to around 39 percent and were more effective from beyond the arc hitting roughly 39 percent of three-point shots.
The game before that saw them travel to New York where they faced Columbia Lions on December 7th. Despite putting up a valiant effort and scoring more consistently across quarters than in subsequent games (66 points total), defensive lapses allowed Columbia too many points in paint which ultimately led to their downfall (76-66).
Looking ahead at Tulsa Golden Hurricane's recent performances provides some insight into what MEM might expect: TLSA has demonstrated solid two-point shooting efficiency but has struggled from long range – something MEM could exploit if they tighten up defensively around the perimeter.
For MT fans looking for victory come game day, there are key areas where focus should be razor-sharp: improving field goal percentages by creating high-quality shots through better ball movement; capitalizing on free throws; and maintaining defensive intensity throughout all four quarters without fouling excessively.
The upcoming clash promises excitement as both teams vie for dominance on court. With home advantage and lessons learned from past performances guiding them forward, MT must harness every ounce of skill and determination if they wish to emerge victorious against TLSA.
