Houston drops regular season finale to Tulsa despite Maya Jones’ career-high 19

Junior Maya Jones’ career-high 19 points were not enough to carry Houston to victory in the final game of the regular season, as the Cougars fell 71-64 to Tulsa on the road Monday night.

Down six early in the second quarter, junior KeAsja Peace provided the boost Houston needed off the bench, scoring seven points in the quarter to pull the Cougars within two at the half.

In the third quarter, the Cougars locked down, holding the Golden Hurricane to 11 points.

Sophomore Dymond Gladney led the offense with five third-quarter points to help the Cougars tie the game up at 38 heading into the final quarter of play.
