The Houston women’s basketball put on a dominant display in its first big test of conference play as it knocked off Tulsa 80-67 at Fertitta Center on Saturday.
The victory extends the Cougars’ winning streak to six games while handing Tulsa only its second loss of the season.
UH tipped off the game with an early 4-0 followed by multiple series of exchanged free throws before the Cougars led 9-6 at the first timeout of the game.
Tulsa blew the game open with the first big momentum swing as it rode a 10-0 run before UH responded with a 5-0 run of its own to cut the deficit to 16-14 to end the first quarter.
