As the Tulsa Golden Hurricane prepare to host the Temple Owls at the Donald W. Reynolds Center, fans can anticipate an exciting encounter in women's basketball. The upcoming game is set against a backdrop of recent performances that suggest a competitive matchup.
The Golden Hurricane have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games, with their latest outing against Southeastern Louisiana ending in a narrow victory with 48 points to 47. Despite struggling offensively with field goal percentages hovering around 32 percent and three-point shooting at just 21 percent, they managed to secure the win thanks to their defensive prowess, which included seven blocks and tenacious rebounding that led them to dominate with 43 total rebounds.
In contrast, their performance prior was more robust offensively when they faced Texas Tech Lady Raiders. Scoring 66 points and improving their field goal percentage to approximately 42 percent showed they could adjust and find ways to score when necessary. However, turnovers remained an issue as they committed seventeen but were somewhat mitigated by forcing eight points off turnovers.
The most impressive display came during their home game against Texas Southern Tigers where they dominated with an emphatic win scoring 82 points. Their offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot an impressive fifty percent from the field and nearly forty percent from beyond the arc while also dishing out seventeen assists.
