Memphis will wrap up its home schedule by playing a Tulsa squad that is tied for 10th with the Tigers in the American Athletic Conference standings. Although coming off of a loss Wednesday evening to UCF, Memphis celebrated Brea Elmore as her second quarter three-pointer marked her 1,000^th point as a Memphis Tiger. Elmore finished the game with a team-high 12 points. Taylor Barnes and Alana Davis led the way on the boards, grabbing five apiece.

Heading into Senior Day against Tulsa, here are some tidbits on the Memphis women's basketball team:

With a three-pointer in the second quarter, Brea Elmore became the 25^th member of the Memphis 1,000-point club, and the second to join this season.
Freshman Alana Davis scored nine points and grabbed five rebounds against the Knights off the bench, while adding three steals and a block. She is fifth on the team in scoring at 5.6 points per contest, and she ranks first among freshmen in rebounds, with 97 on the year.
Cheyenne Creighton leads the Tigers in rebounding, averaging 8.0 boards per game.
Brea Elmore and Cheyenne Creighton lead Memphis offensively with 14.8 and 14.3 points per game, respectively. Both have started in every game for Memphis.
Although she has missed the last 10 games to injury, Breigha Wilder-Cochran will end her Memphis career with 545 points, 331 rebounds, and 298 assists. As a freshman, Wilder-Cochran was named to the AAC All-Rookie team after setting the Memphis freshman single-season record of 125 assists.
A Memphis victory would improve the Tigers to 9-19 on the year and 4-11 in American Athletic Conference play. It would also break a tie with Tulsa in the American standings.

A Look At Tulsa
Tulsa visits Memphis after dropping its previous two contests. Tulsa also fell victim to Memphis the last time the two teams met, with that game taking place in Oklahoma on January 13, 2018.

Tulsa is led in scoring by Shug Dickson, who averages 14.2 points per contest this year. Erika Wakefield joins Dickson as the other team member scoring in double figures. Kendrian Elliott is the team's leading glass cleaner, grabbing 6.1 boards per contest.

A balanced rebounding attack is one of the hallmarks of this Golden Hurricane team, five players have recorded 100 or more rebounds on the season.

Matilda Mossman stands at the helm of the Golden Hurricane, currently coaching her seventh season as head coach. Last season, she coached two American All-Freshman players, Shug Dickson and Kendrian Elliott.

Tipoff against Tulsa is set for 1 p.m. CT at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
