The semifinals against Little Rock's Trojans also showcased Tulane's strength. They secured another win with a score of 66-57.

Against Howard's Lady Bison earlier in December, Tulane once again defended their home court successfully with a scoreline reading 67-52 in favor of the Green Wave. Despite turning over the ball eighteen times, they managed to keep Howard at bay by limiting them to just over 32 percent shooting from the field while themselves shooting at approximately 40 percent.
