Tulsa aims to halt a two-match losing streak at home. Overall, they've had a decent run this season at 12-10, but their conference record stands less impressive at 3-7. Key offensive plays predominantly come from PJ Haggerty, who boasts a robust scoring average of 19.8 points per game. Tulsa defends the perimeter well, but continue to grapple with vulnerabilities in their under-the-basket defense. Keston Willis's foot injury has affected their squad depth, as the player provided solid production along with invaluable experience.

They maintain relentless pressure on their opponents thanks to their potent offense, averaging 77.3 points per game. Despite shooting at an efficiency rate of 44.7 percent from the field, there's still room for improvement, and a modest 31.2 three-point conversion rate leaves room for enhancement. Defensive protocols aren't seamless, with their allowing a number of throws at their hoop and struggling with perimeter defence. They do, however, limit second-chance points by collecting an average of 35.6 rebounds per game.
