Awesome road win for the TU women against Tulane.
Down 17 in the 2nd quarter, fought back and got it done.
Double-double (22 points, 11 boards) from Hannah Riddick. Bigtime stuff. Cartwright went 11/12 from the FT line and hit some huge ones late.
Tulsa moves to 2-0 in conference

@thegoldenhurricast.com I didn't get a degree KenPom, but if my reading is correct, we are currently only one spot below where we were in 2016 when we last made March Madness (66 now vs 65 back then when we were an at-large bid)
Just something I noticed that got me even more excited about this year
