Tulsa’s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their third straight loss. They fell 84-76 to the 49ers.

Tulsa’s defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of PJ Haggerty, who scored 28 points along with five rebounds, and Cobe Williams who scored 18 points along with five assists.

Meanwhile, the oddsmakers set the bar high, but Tulane and FAU didn’t disappoint and broke past the 161.5 point over/under on Thursday. The Green Wave lost 85-84 to the Owls on a last-minute free throw From Alijah Martin. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.

The Golden Hurricane’s defeat was their 16th straight on the road dating back to last season, which bumped their record down to 9-6. That poor showing could be blamed on the team’s lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 63.3 points per game.

Sunday’s match is shaping up to be a scrappy matchup: Tulsa have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.8 rebounds per game.
