Last time out, Tulane put together a dominate effort in securing an 81-55 victory over East Carolina on Jan. 13 at Devlin Fieldhouse. Hannah Pratt's near record breaking shooting performance led the program. Pratt hit eight threes in the game to rank just below Tiffany Aidoo's nine threes in the school record book. Pratt's eight threes were the most for the program in a game since 2013. Pratt's 26 points scored were tied for the most by a Tulane player this season. Amira Mabry recorded her first career double-double with 14 points and career-best 11 rebounds. Irina Parau set a new career-best with seven assists.

The team's 26-point victory was the largest conference win for Tulane since the 2021 season when the team defeated Temple 80-44. The 25+ point victory was the third such win for Tulane this season. The team's 13 made threes against the Pirates are tied for the fourth-most in school history. The victory was the 650th in the career of Coach Stockton. She is just the 14th active coach to ever reach the mark and the 35th coach ever at the Division I for women's basketball.
Pratt became the third different Tulane player to be recognized by the AAC this season as she was named to the Weekly Honor Roll after averaging 26 points and seven rebounds a game. She shot 52.9 percent from the field and 53.3 percent from three-point range on the week plus hit eight threes and had seven rebounds. Previously honored was Kyren Whittington (Nov. 20 and Dec. 11) and Marta Galic (Dec. 26).
Charlotte, under the direction of Cara Consegura, are in their first year as part of the American Athletic Conference (AAC). The program has started well with 11 wins in the first 17 games and four conference wins. Dazia Lawrence leads the team with 18.2 points per game. Lawrence also has a team-high 31 steals.
