Tulsa’s women’s basketball team is ranked second in the nation in 3-pointers per game. The Shockers knew they were going to have to step up and defend the 3-point line.
Wichita State did just that by limiting Tulsa to a 28.6 3-point field goal percentage on Wednesday night. The Shockers beat the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 84-68.
“We really stressed all week picking up the ball above the 3-point line, having our heels on the 3-point line and being up knowing they would want to come down and shoot threes,” head coach Keitha Adams said.
A large part of the women’s defensive and offensive gain against the Golden Hurricane was the presence of senior posts Trajata Colbert and Jane Asinde.
