The Wichita State’s women’s basketball team squandered an eight-point halftime deficit, falling to Tulsa, 65-58 on Sunday.
The two programs first competed with each other in 1978 and the Shockers have won 21 of the 26 match-ups. The Shockers had won the last four matchups, but the Golden Hurricane earned their fourth victory over WSU, since they joined the American.
The Shockers played with a strong defense against Tulsa. Tulsa leads the American league with three-point percentage, but WSU’s half court trap was effective in the first 20 minutes. Tulsa went 1-19 from deep, after entering the game shooting 40.
