TULSA, Okla. – Tulane makes its penultimate road trip of the regular season by heading to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a match-up with the Golden Hurricane tomorrow night. Tip-off between the Green Wave and Tulsa is set for 6:30 p.m. in the Reynolds Center with the contest streaming on ESPN+. It can also be heard on WRBH 88.3 FM and through the Varsity Network App.

This will be the 41^st all-time meeting between the programs. Tulane leads the series 28-13, but Tulsa has won the last four match-ups, including a 76-73 battle earlier this season in New Orleans on January 6. The last two contests in Tulsa have gone to the Golden Hurricane. The Wave's last win in the series was on the road, a 69-67 triumph on February 12, 2023.

Tulsa is 17-9 on the season with a 9-6 conference clip. The Hurricane has lost three of its last four games but won last time out, 59-55, at home over UAB on February 20. Tulsa posts a scoring offense of 68.8 with a 41.7 percent shooting mark. From three, the Hurricane shoots 31.8 percent. Tulsa secures 37.1 rebounds per game and dishes 12.5 assists per contest. Mady Cartwright is the top scorer and assister, notching 15.5 points per game and 2.4 assists per game. Hannah Riddick leads on the glass with an average of 7.0, and Jada Clark leads on defense with a steals average of 1.7.

Tulane is 10-16 with a 5-9 American record. The Wave has won back-to-back contests, both over Memphis last week. Tulane tallies a scoring offense of 66.3 while shooting 40.1 percent overall and 28.5 percent from three. The Wave dominates on the glass with 39.5 rebounds per game, fifth in the conference. Tulane is second in the league for assists with 14.7, and the team is fourth in blocking at 3.8 per game. Kanija Daniel leads the team with 11.3 points per game as one of three in double figures. Amira Mabry and Mecailin Marshall each average 10.2 points per game. On the glass, Dyllan Hanna is 10^th in the conference with 7.2 boards per game. Kendall Sneed dishes 4.0 helpers per game to rank seventh in the league. Tulane is the only team in the conference with two players in the top five for blocking with Hanna in third (1.5) and Daniel ranking fourth (1.0).

Earlier today a pair of Wave players earned weekly conference honors, highlighted by Shiloh Kimpson securing her second American Freshman of the Week award this season. Mabry was tabbed as an honorable mention selection for the week. Kimpson secured the honor after a career performance last Thursday against Memphis. The freshman made her first-career start and delivered 12 points and 10 assists for her first-career double-double. She nearly recorded a triple-double with six rebounds added in, with all three marks new career bests. Kimpson assisted on or scored 35 of Tulane's 69 points in the win over the Tigers. She is the first Wave player with 10 assists in a game since Sneed dished out 11 last season against Florida on November 28, 2023.

The Green Wave defense has been stingy in conference play, allowing just 63.4 points per game over 14 league battles. This mark is fourth in the American. Tulane boasts the lowest three-point percentage defense in the conference during league play at 26.3 percent, and the Wave has the third-lowest field goal percentage defense in conference play at 38.7 percent.

CC Mays is closing in on a major milestone as the graduate student owns 977 points in her career. She needs just 23 more to reach the 1,000 points threshold. Mabry, who surpassed the mark earlier this season, is continuing to climb up Tulane's all-time scoring leaderboard. The 33^rd member of the program's 1,000 points club is now 29^th on the list with 1,041 points, and she needs just six more to reach 27^th on the list, which is where head coach Ashley Langford and current Tulane ESPN+ color analyst Tiffany Aidoo both sit with 1,047 points apiece.

Tulane will return home on Saturday, February 28, to host Wichita State. The start time for the contest has changed as announced earlier this evening. Originally scheduled for 2:00 p.m., the match-up will now start at 1:00 p.m. at Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse. The contest against the Shockers will be Tulane's senior day and will stream on ESPN+. It can be heard on WRBH 88.3 FM and through the Varsity Network App.
