Tulsa, Oklahoma - Tulsa looks to continue its five-game home winning streak against the Marshall Thundering Herd on Saturday night at the Donald W. Reynolds Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:05 pm. Tickets can be purchased for as low as $10.00. High-flying trampoline acrobatic Team AcroDunk will perform at halftime.
Tulsa (15-11, 6-7 C-USA) is coming off a loss at No.2-ranked Memphis on Wednesday night, while Marshall has not played since last Saturday's 71-66 home win over the UCF Knights.
Some plateaus could be set tonight for the Hurricane. Seven-foot sophomore Jerome Jordan is one blocked shot shy of tying the single-season blocks mark with his 85 blocks on the season, and senior guard Brett McDade needs two more assists to become just the 11th player in school history to have 300 career assists. In addition, sophomore guard Ben Uzoh needs six points to reach 400 on the season, making him the 49th player in school history to srpass 400 points and just the ninth sophomore to do so.
Marshall comes into the contest with a 15-11 mark and a 7-6 league record. The Herd is led by three players averaging double-figures in scoring, led by Mark Dorris and Markel Humphrey with 13.8 and 13.0 points, respectively.
This is the second-to-last home game for the Hurricane this season. Tulsa will go on the road Wednesday night to face UAB, and return home next Saturday to close out the season with a 7 pm game against UCF.
