The Donald W. Reynolds Center witnessed the Golden Hurricane establish their dominance early on, setting the pace with a robust first quarter lead and extending it by halftime. The home team's offensive execution was clinical, converting 50 percent of their field goal attempts and an outstanding 38 percent from beyond the arc. Their defense was equally formidable, amassing nine blocks and four steals over the course of play.
The Golden Hurricane excelled in rebounding as well, securing a total of 51 rebounds compared to the Tiger's 39.

The home team also capitalized on turnovers, scoring 21 points off turnovers while maintaining better ball control with only one team turnover.
Tulsa’s players showed remarkable synergy on court with seventeen assists contributing to their fluid offense; this teamwork was evident as they maintained an assist-to-turnover ratio close to one. Their prowess inside was highlighted by scoring more than half their points in paint (42), showcasing their ability to penetrate Texas Southern’s defenses.
On the other side, despite facing tough opposition, Texas Southern managed to make four three-pointers and had a free throw percentage near seventy percent which demonstrated resilience from the charity stripe. However, they struggled overall from the field with just under twenty-three percent shooting accuracy and were unable to contain Tulsa’s dynamic offense throughout each quarter.
