Spent afternoon watching Edmond north and TO Barrett play matched up against Bartlesville and David Castillo. Both PG’s and both teams played man d. Barrett dominated. I know Castillo national ranking but TO looked much better. Tulsa was Barrett first division 1 offer but he seems to be fixated on OU, OSU or Missouri.
Just confirmed to me how the national rating services are so biased and not totally reliable

Was played this last Wednesday-Friday. This tournament takes some of the best from all classes in OK HS basketball and pits them against each other. In an absolute stunner, Dale (2A) won the tournament with victories over 6A Union, 4A Crossings Christian (?), and 5A Tulsa Memorial. We know what Union and Memorial are in terms of being among the best in the state and Memorial is usually one of the best in the state regardless of class. Crossings Christian beat Edmond Memorial, another of the good 6A schools in the 1st round. Apparently Dale has a Jimmy Chitwood type of stud named Dayton Forsyth who had 34 pts and 10 rebounds in the final over Memorial. The HC at Memorial compared Forsyth to Keiton Page.

Somewhat sloppy start for both teams.

Will take it. We have a long way to go, but liked that we used what we had.

Watching 6-7 Frosh super star Phoenix Woodson.

As ugly as the game was for Tulsa against No. 3 Houston, sadly, it was completely expected. The Cougars showed why they are a juggernaut, destroying TU 89-50 Wednesday night in front of 4,807 fans at the Reynolds Center.

The AAC champ beat the little 12 Champ on the road!
Tulane - 17
Kansas State- 10

The player that is coming from that university that smells like a septic tank by the football field to TU are the ones that are upgrading ! Not the other way around !

One of the most bizarre business failures I’ve ever seen.

This is the comment from the court appointed receiver. The same guy who oversaw the Enron cleanup.

And maybe the new year will be better for football and basketball

Not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it. 70% if flights cancelled today. Next closest airline is under 10%. Tomorrow looks like a repeat. Not exactly sure what is going on. USDOT now looking into the airline.

ITS GAMEDAY!!!

Today Tulsa Men travel to California to take on the Loyola Marymount Lions. This is our last Non Conference game of the season. We open Conference play on Dec 28.

Only one big change in the NET. Temple who was a 180 dropped 22 spots after losing by 8 at home to University of Maryland Eastern Shore who was a 305 NET.

Todays games

Detroit mercy travels to Cincinnati which should be a good game
High Point is at East Carolina. They are fairly even on the NET so this could be a good game as well.
Houston is taking on some cannon fodder in McNeese before the start of conference play.

And One

The winter storm that has come through the northern states this week has postponed or cancelled 4 games today. The one that impacts this thread is the South Dakota vs Oral Roberts game. The SDSU and ND games were also postponed.

Also Hall of Famer and hero of the Immaculate reception Franco Harris passed away today. His number is supposed to be retired this weekend in Pittsburgh during a ceremony on the 50th anniversary of that game.

GO TU!!!!

4* ATH from Booker T decommitted from arky yesterday and visited Tulsa today….

The idea that Tulsa football can be successful focusing on NE Oklahoma recruiting is a myth. You need that core group of players, but you can't win recruiting "on a tank of gas."

Basketball, on the other hand, is another story. Once upon a time, you could have put together a team that would have won the national championship, if we would have had a coach that could connect with the city.

I can't speak for today, but if we would have kept three, maybe four of the guys on this list, and stayed off probation, what a year 1990 or 1991 would have been. How many guys went to the pros off this list? At a glance I can spot 3, maybe 4. But look at the names below those guys. We could have put together a pretty darn special team. Yet we only signed one. And he was a transfer.

Some of the larger schools, Texas A&M for example, have a large number of players hit the portal. Consequently, they can grab a lot players.

About how many football scholarships are available?

Ick.

No TV on YouTube yet.

51 waiting.

Already down 10 pts. , Hope the mighty Louisiana Cajuns beat the hell out
the Houston trash . Christmas is coming early .

Tulsa has got to hire football coaches with “extensive“ experience recruiting in Texas. A must. The program just can’t afford coaches to “learn” on the job.
