NEW ORLEANS (Interstat) — Two American Athletic Conference teams seeking momentum will meet Saturday when the Temple women visit Tulane at Devlin Fieldhouse.

The Owls (9-11, 3-6 AAC) and the Green Wave (8-11, 3-6) enter with identical league records, sitting in the bottom half of the conference standings. Both teams are looking to rebound from recent road losses at Rice.

Temple will aim to avenge a 71-58 home loss to Tulane on Jan. 13. In that game, Tulane’s Kanija Daniel scored 19 points, while Temple’s Jaleesa Molina had a team-high 20 points in the losing effort.

Molina, a key guard for the Owls, has been a consistent scorer. She is coming off a 13-point performance in 37 minutes in the loss at Rice. Over her last five games, she is averaging 14.2 points.

Daniel, a guard for the Green Wave, has been equally impactful. She scored 17 points in the loss at Rice and averaged 15.2 points over her last five contests. Her performance was pivotal in the first matchup against Temple.

Temple has struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses over its past six games. Its most recent outing was a 65-56 defeat at Rice on Wednesday, despite 16 points from Kaylah Turner and 14 from Saniyah Craig.

Tulane has lost two of its last three, with its only win in that span a 73-68 home victory over UAB on Jan. 17. In their loss at Rice last Saturday, Daniel led the way with 17 points, supported by 12 points from Kendall Sneed and 11 from Amira Mabry.

The game will feature two defenses looking to improve. Temple allows an average of 68.2 points per game, while Tulane surrenders 67.6. The team that establishes control early and limits turnovers will likely gain the upper hand.

Following this game, Temple hosts North Texas on Feb. 7. Tulane continues its homestand, welcoming Charlotte on Feb. 4.

Tipoff is set for Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026, in New Orleans.
