Moody Coliseum is scheduled to have an action packed weekend as both the men’s and women’s Mustang basketball programs host conference opponents, the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricanes.

After a tough loss to Tulane Wednesday night the Mustangs will be looking for their second win against Tulsa to establish a 3-4 conference record.

During their previous meeting, Jeremiah Samarippas brought home a victory by hitting two shots during the final minute, with the final shot completed in the last second to beat the buzzer at Tulsa.

SMU was able to outscore Tulsa 19-4 in points off turnovers as well as force 17 turnovers from the Golden Hurricanes.

With a final score of 57-55, the game marked the 14th time in 15 games that the Mustangs were able to hold their opponent to 65 points or less in regulation.

Robert Nyakundi led SMU with 14 points, six rebounds and tied a season-high with three steals.

Tulsa’s starting guard, Jordan Clarkson, led the Golden Hurricanes with 14 points during the game. Scottie Haralson followed close behind Clarkson with 11 points.

Since the previous game with Tulsa, the SMU men have accumulated four losses and only one victory (Houston, 70-54).

While the Mustangs have not had much success since facing off Tulsa, the Golden Hurricanes haven’t lost a game since, extending their conference record to 2-5. Tulsa has toppled teams SMU has fallen to such as UTEP, Rice and Tulane.

The SMU men’s basketball team will meet with Tulsa for the second time this season Saturday, Jan. 28 at 2 p.m.

For the SMU basketball ladies, this weekend’s game against Tulsa will be their first time on the court together for the season.

The women of the Mustang basketball program are currently 2-4 in conference after defeating the UCF Knights in Orlando, Fla. Thursday night.

Samantha Mahnesmith led the Mustangs against UCF with 16 points and seven rebounds while Alisha Filmore also put big numbers on the scoreboard with 15 points.

Tulsa’s women’s basketball team has been successful against teams such as Houston, Southern Mississippi and Rice this season. The Mustangs have defeated Houston, but were unable to hold back Rice, losing by only two points, 56-54.

SMU women’s basketball team will take on the Golden Hurricanes Sunday with tip off scheduled at 2 p.m.
