What a mess.

Playing as an underdog on the road, Tulsa will attempt to upset Houston in the final game of TU's season.

Heading to the 5th O.T.

Really surprised neither team has attempted to go for 2 to win the game.

With apologies to loca…..

In the fwiw department, Detroit Mercy just kicked the crap out of Charlotte 70-49, who just handled us easily.

We play Detroit Dec 7.

Happy for our guys and even the coaches.

Beats the sissy cats!
And Cincinnati goes to the Big 12 a loser in the AAC!

I noticed Konkol is stressing rebounding for tonight's game. Good thing because Cisse is capable of breaking the school record for rebounds and blocks tonight if we aren't ready. Probably a small crowd which is good.

Following a two-game getaway to the Bahamas and nearly a week to recover, Oklahoma State gets back to action Friday night when it hosts Tulsa in Stillwater.

The Cowboys (3-2) split its games in the Baha Mar Hoops tournament, losing to UCF last Friday before defeating DePaul two days later.

After returning home, Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton said his team needs to build on strong starts.

"We haven't finished well, so that's something we have to get better at, but we've started off every game pretty strong," Boynton said Tuesday. "Now, it's about sustaining that, and then, ultimately, how to finish."

Much of that could fall on the shoulders of Avery Anderson III (13.4 points) and Kalib Boone (10.6), who lead Oklahoma State's attack.

The 6-foot-9 Boone joins 7-foot-1 Moussa Cisse, who's averaging 9.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.6 blocks, in forming a low-post presence with which opponents need to contest.

"We know that we still have one of the best post offensive players in the country, and when Kalib Boone plays well, we have a lot of success," Boynton said. "(And) if our team was 5-0 right now, I think (Moussa would) be getting more national conversation about the way he's been playing."

Tulsa (2-3), under first-year coach Eric Konkol, is coming off a 1-2 showing and fourth-place finish at the Myrtle Beach Classic in South Carolina. After Beating Loyola Chicago 85-66 in the first round, the Golden Hurricane lost to Charlotte and then Murray State on Sunday to close out the event.

Sam Griffin (18.0 points) leads four Tulsa players averaging double-figure scoring. He hit 10 of 25 (40 percent) his 3-point shots in the three games at Myrtle Beach.

Bryant Selebangue, who had a double-double against Murray State (14 points, 11 rebounds), is averaging 11.0 points and 9.0 rebounds. He has helped the Golden Hurricane cope with the absence of Nikita Konstantynovskyi (foot).

Tim Dalger (12.0) and Brandon Betson (11.4) are the other Tulsa players averaging double-figure scoring.

Oklahoma State leads the all-time series 72-37.

Cannot believe he stopped doing TU games way back in 2006.

Hope everyone here has a great Thanksgiving! I sure do enjoy talking TU sports with all of you!

ESPNU

Time and network have finally been established. Last game….

Chicago State transfer Brandon Betson has made an instant impact at Tulsa, averaging 11.4 points through five games.

Game starting now. O Roberts 0-4 for the season so far.

I don't see it happening but it would be better than a bowl game to see them out of the American with a home loss.

BTW I posted in the Alley so that Coug dookie would have to pay Chris to troll.

Shoot around just completed and Tim Dalger is not in uniform. This does not spell success today.

ITS GAMEDAY!!!

Today is the last day of the Myrtle Beach Invitational and there has been some great games to be at. I have been happy for the most part with how we have played so far. I look forward to the next tournament.

Speaking of tournaments we have several teams in 6 different tournaments this week. There will be a separate post for those tournaments after today. All of those will be on one post through Thanksgiving. Tulsa will play on Black Friday against Oklahoma State.

We do have a big schedule on Tap today and it starts with Tulsa in the Third Place game playing at 9:30 in the morning. Lord that is early. That game will be followed up by the Championship game at noon between Charlotte and Masschusetts. Loyola Chicago and Texas A&M will be playing for 7th place at 3:30. Our next opponent will be playing DePaul in the Baha Mar tournament as will UCF.

Most competitive game will probably be the VCU at Memphis game at 4 p.m. The nightcap will have Houston traveling to Oregon. Both should be good games.

And One

The World Cup starts today with the first game between Qatar and Ecuador at 7:00 a.m. USA plays Whales at 1:00 p.m. Monday. Lets hope we have a good showing. This is a great time of year. Football, Basketball and World Cup. I am going to be very busy. lol

GO TU!!!!

People should be outraged that social media is actively censoring an actual news outlet (NY Post). People stand idly by doing and saying nothing bc all they care about is getting Biden elected. Just wait until they start censoring Liberals. These companies are the biggest threat to our democracy and their protection must be removed.
Pics of Biden’s son smoking crack, emails, messages, financial records! What a joke!

Good coverage by John Tranchina. He's the best TU beat writer they've had in quite a while.

Who’s in? Weather App says 29 at kickoff dropping to 26. I doubt I last until the end.

Navy is playing like they care despite being 3-7. Much sharper than us yesterday despite the win.

Maybe I missed it but I don’t recall a post on the national championship. Not bad but I really expected a higher finish.

We’ve been consistently good but I was hoping for a shot at the national title. Still, the guys are giving the university some great publicity and have become one of the top cross country teams over the past year. I expect we’ll be right there again in the years to come. Congratulations to Coach Gulley and the guys.

STILLWATER, Okla. –– Cormac Dalton and Shay McEvoyearned All-America honors as the No. 5 University of Tulsa men's cross-country team finished ninth on the Greiner Family Cross Country Course at the Division I NCAA Championships Saturday morning.

"We're leaving Stillwater slightly disappointed with our performance," coach Taylor Gulley said. "But it speaks volumes about the growth of this program when ninth place at the National Championships is seen as a frustrating result. We didn't get out great and couldn't move through the field like we had planned.

"I know this team has done everything possible to prepare for today, and unfortunately we just didn't have our best race today."

Chloe Hershenow placed 135th as an individual in the women's championship, traversing the 6k course in 20:49.6. NC State swept the individual and team title. Katelyn Tuohy made a late push to close the gap on Florida's Parker Valby and win the race, while NC State edged out New Mexico 114-140.

"It's very hard for kids to have a great race in the NCAA Championship when it's their first trip, but Chloe did a great job," coach Steve Gulley said. "On top of that, it's difficult to run as an individual. We are such a team-oriented program and she's not a selfish individual. I think she would've preferred to have her team there with her. But overall, she ran a great race, and we are proud of her."

In the men's race, Dalton navigated the 10k course in 29:16.0 to capture 15th, while McEvoy finished 23rd in 29:25.7, each solidifying All-America status. They're the 13th and 14th All-Americans in the history of the men's program.

"Cormac and Shay timed things perfectly and really moved through the field exceptionally well," Taylor Gulleysaid. "Incredibly impressive running from those two. It arguably might have been the toughest year to place top 40, and those two ran phenomenal races to do so."

Isaac Akers narrowly missed out on All-America himself, placing 44th in the race, finishing in 29:40.4. Micheal Power placed 61st with a 10k time of 29:51.3 and Malte Propp (31:04.9) came in 202nd to round out the top five for Tulsa.

Luke Lambert (31:29.8) and Max Nores (31:56.0) placed 223rd and 236th respectively. Tulsa finished with 304 team points.

The top time and individual title belonged to Charles Hicks of Stanford, who ran a blistering 28:43.6 race. But it was Northern Arizona who completed the three-peat, winning its sixth title in seven years. It was as close a finish as you can get as, for the second race in a row, Oklahoma State tied in points, 83, for the top spot, but lost on the tiebreaker and had to settle for second.

BYU, the team who broke up Northern Arizona's two threepeats, placed third. Stanford entered the race as the top-ranked team but settled for fourth, while Wake Forest rounded out the top five. Wisconsin, Air Force and Colorado were the next three in front of the Hurricane, with North Carolina taking 10th.
