Tulsa hosts Jackson State following Griffin's 29-point game

Tulsa hosts the Jackson State Tigers after Sam Griffin scored 29 points in Tulsa's 73-70 loss to the Oregon State Beavers

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sam Griffin - Nears thirty point performance Griffin finished with 29 points (10-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 73-70 loss to Oregon State.

Impact Griffin's 29 point performance set a new career high for the junior guard. Bryant Selenbangue and Griffin were the only two starters to reach double-figure scoring. Griffin played the most minutes of all Golden Hurricane players while also taking by far the most three point attempts. Last season, Griffin averaged the second most points on the team, this year, it's his turn to take over as the primary scoring threat.

Tim Dalger - Back from injury Dalger (undisclosed) posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 73-70 loss to Oregon State.

Impact Dalger did get the start despite missing exhibition play with an undisclosed injury, but he didn't see much run with coach Eric Konkol electing to go primarily with a smaller lineup that featured Sterling Gaston-Chapman and Keyshawn Embery-Simpson at power forward. This type of usage has potential to curb his fantasy value significantly.

Keyshawn Embery-Simpson - Key reserve role Embery (academics) ended with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 73-70 loss to Oregon State.

Impact Embery's season was cut short in January due to academic-related reasons, but he was back for the 2022-23 opener as one of the two primary reserves used by the Hurricane. It appears as if he'll be clear to contribute in this capacity moving forward.

Anthony Pritchard - Takes court for opener Pritchard (foot) started and had six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes in Monday's 73-70 loss to Oregon State.

Impact Pritchard had been spotted in a walking boot less than a week ago, but it was reported all along that he'd likely be available for the opener. That was indeed the cast for the west coast matchup, though the point guard's individual performance left a lot to be desired. He turned the ball over just four times compared to two assists and wasn't particularly efficient from the field. The sophomore will look to bounce back Saturday against Jackson State.

Impact Pritchard suffered a foot injury at the end of last season but appears to just be playing it cautiously before the team's season begins. Last year Pritchard averaged 4.4 points, 3.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 20.7 minutes across 27 games as a freshman. The sophomore guard is expected to be a much bigger part of Tulsa's offense this season.
