TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa's offense was clinical in a 100-74 win over UTSA on Sunday in the Reynolds Center. The team knocked down 12 threes to set the single season program record and now has 292 makes on the season.

The Golden Hurricane then gained momentum, going on a 10-2 run midway through the half, with Green contributing a dunk and a layup. Popoola continued to dominate, scoring back-to-back 3-pointers to extend Tulsa's lead. By the end of the half, Green capped off the scoring with a 3-pointer, giving the home team a 53-37 advantage.
Tulsa maintained its lead in the second half against UTSA, opening with a strong defensive and offensive performance.
