• UC outscored the Knights, 18-3, in the third quarter to take the lead and tie for the second-fewest points allowed in a quarter in tournament history with the three Tulsa held Houston to in the fourth quarter of their 2016 first round game
• IImar'I Thomas scored 21 points and added eight rebounds and three blocks in the game, marking the 16th time this year she has scored 20+ points in a game and the 21st time in her career.
