Leads upset over HoustonRachal contributed a game-high 20 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT) to go with seven rebounds across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 65-64 win over Houston.

ImpactThe Golden Hurricane knocked the Cougars from the ranks of the unbeaten Tuesday, largely thanks to the efforts of Rachal, who coolly hit two free throws with one-tenth of a second remaining to give Tulsa the lead. Thus far in his second season with Tulsa after transferring from Pearl River Community College following the 2018-19 campaign, Rachal is averaging 14.5 points, 7.0 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.4 treys in 28.5 minutes per contest.

Returns against HoustonJoiner started and had six points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 65-64 victory over Houston.

ImpactJoiner started the first the first six games of the season for the Golden Hurricane, but sat out Dec. 23 against Southwestern Christian due to what was vaguely reported as an Achilles injury. It doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, however, as he was back in the starting five Tuesday and helped lead Tulsa to a massive upset against the projected top team in the American conference. Joiner's minutes were one of his lowest of the year, but that appears mostly related to foul trouble instead of any injury. The senior guard certainly has potential to get in a groove, as he averaged 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists over the season's first four games.

Sees four minutes in returnTyson (undisclosed) failed to score (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) during four minutes of action during Tuesday's 65-64 loss to Tulsa.

ImpactTyson missed the past three games due to COVID-19 protocol, but he returned to action Tuesday, albeit in a limited fashion. The sophomore doesn't hold a large role on the team at this time, and he'll continue to provide backcourt depth for the foreseeable future.
