The University of Tulsa women's basketball team returns home after a five-game road swing and nearly a month on the road to host Tulane on Friday, January 12th. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. in the Donald W. Reynolds Center.
The Golden Hurricane is coming off an 87-71 victory over Memphis, and has tallied a 6-9 overall mark and 1-2 Conference USA record this season. The Green Wave fell, 61-52, to Rice in their last match up and has a 12-4 overall record and 1-2 mark in the league.
The Green Wave will be led by Jami Montagnino who averages 16.8 points per game and 4.3 rebounds per game. D'Aundra Henry is the second-highest scorer with 9.6 points per game, and leads the team in steals with 48. Ashley Langford has a team-best 94 assists, while Jennifer Sands leads Tulane with 17 blocks this season.
Senior forward Jillian Robbins leads Tulsa with 20.0 points per game and 13.2 rebounds per game this season. She also owns a season-best 53 steals and 21 blocks. Robbins needs just one more steal to tie former Golden Hurricane standout Kasie Pittman with a school-record 303 steals. Sophomore Jamie Dreiling and freshman Valerie Siemens are averaging 7.5 and 7.2 points per game, respectively.
Tulsa and Tulane have met just three times before, with the Golden Hurricane holding a 2-1 advantage in the series. Tulsa picked up both victories last year by a 9.0 average win margin. Tulane's lone victory was a 49-44 decision during the 1986-87 season.
