Tulsa Golden Hurricane Set to Storm Health & PE Arena Against Texas Southern Tigers
As the Tulsa Golden Hurricane prepare to face off against the Texas Southern Tigers at Houston's Health & PE Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 22nd, promises to be a thrilling encounter in women's basketball.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have been showing formidable form lately. In their recent match on December 20th against Northwestern State Demons at the Donald W. Reynolds Center in Tulsa, they dominated with a staggering 96 points victory over the Demons' 64 points. This performance was nothing short of spectacular and showcased their offensive prowess.
In that game, every quarter was an exhibition of consistent scoring by the Golden Hurricane, with at least 20 points in each period. Such offensive consistency is what fans have come to expect from this team and will be crucial when they go up against the Tigers.
However, it wasn't just offense where Tulsa excelled; their defense also stood out during their last away game on December 17th against Kansas Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence. Despite falling short with a final score of 62-81, there were positives to take away from that encounter – particularly their defensive efforts which included an impressive nine blocks and five steals.
While some may focus on the loss itself or the fact that field goal percentages were not as high as one would hope for – standing at around 31 percent overall – it is important to note that this team showed resilience and a strong defensive front even when facing ranked opponents like Kansas Jayhawks.
Looking ahead to Texas Southern Tigers' home court advantage could pose challenges for TLSA; however, given their recent performances and ability to adapt both offensively and defensively under pressure suggests they are more than capable of overcoming such obstacles.
The upcoming clash will test whether TLSA can maintain its scoring momentum while tightening up any loose ends on defense. With players likely eager to bounce back from any setbacks experienced during previous games and build upon victories like those seen earlier this month against Central Arkansas Sugar Bears (95-51), there's every reason for optimism among fans of Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
Mark your calendars for December 22nd at 3:00 PM CST when these two teams collide at Health & PE Arena in Houston. Fans won't want to miss what could be one of the most exciting games of women's basketball this season - catch all the action live if you can!
