The game is set to take place at the Donald W. Reynolds Center, a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could provide a home-court advantage for Tulsa.
The Golden Hurricane comes into this game with mixed results from their recent outings. In their last three games, they have shown both resilience and areas needing improvement.

Their subsequent game saw an increase in offensive production as they scored 66 points against Texas Tech's Lady Raiders, winning by eight points. Their field goal percentage improved significantly to 42 percent from the field and an impressive 71 percent from the free-throw line; however, turnovers remained a concern with another 17 given away.
Most notably, in their dominant performance against Texas Southern Tigers where they put up a staggering 82 points while shooting at an efficient rate of 50 percent from the field and securing a commanding victory by outrebounding their opponents by twelve boards.
Defensively, Tulsa has been formidable; they've averaged six blocks per game over these past performances and have consistently outrebounded their opponents. Offensively, while there is room for improvement on turnovers which have averaged around seventeen per game recently, there are signs of increasing efficiency in scoring within paint and beyond the arc.
