Tonight's game is going to be an interesting one, this may be the worst D1 team to ever play in the Reynold's Center. They are one of three teams yet to find a win.

For a quick comparison, here's their numbers compared to South Carolina St., the worst team we've played thus far.

Great game by Haggerty.

Nice comeback. Didn’t think we had it in us.

Need to get the rebounds and force turnovers. But I’ll take it.

ITS GAMEDAY!!!!! The Tulsa Men host Missouri State at the Reynolds Center this afternoon at 2:00 p.m.

There is a large slate of games on today with 10 American Conference teams in action.

Florida Atlantic takes on St. Bonaventure in the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic in Springfield, MA an our after the TU game starts. Also Jackson State take on Howard at the CP3 HBCU Challenge in Las Vegas, NV. Howard is a tough team taking Georgia Tech and Cincinnati down to the wire but eventually losing the game. Jackson State needs to be prepared for the Bison.

SMU visits Florida State and South Carolina State visits Pittsburgh as both games are on the ACC network.

Memphis hosts Clemson today at the same time as the TU game. This will be a game to watch as well.

AND ONE

Today the Bowl games start and I just realized I didn’t make the group, so my apologies for that. The NFL also starts their Saturday Scheduling with three games today. Vikings at the Bengals, 12:00 then Steelers at Colts, 3:30 and then Broncos at Lions 7:15. I will make a post on the Bowl games on the other board. That said this means that Football Season is winding down and that the Conference slate for basketball is right around the corner. Ready to see what the guys can do against the American.

GO TU!!!

The graduating 2nd string QB is the only guy who hasn't transferred so they're paying him $30k to stick around for another month and play in the bowl game.

Amateur athletics is indeed a pure and beautiful thing.

Minnesota football rumored to be paying $30,000 for QB to play in bowl game

Anyone with an update?

Dude is a clown. Just saw him arguing on Twitter with TU fan accounts saying konkol “whiffed” On not signing some kid who is currently committed to Missouri s&t… didn’t call any other Oklahoma coaches out though. Just us. Then when he got called out he claims TU folks are “drinking koolaid”

why does the Tulsa media continually hate on us?

43 to 27 😂

I am really enjoying them getting in there for the rebounds. It is something we have been missing for a while

Nice HS career.

P.J. Haggerty's desperately needed shot is one of the great clutch shots in TU history. It certainly saved a game, and perhaps, a season.

Haggerty's off-balance, 8-foot floater in the lane while being fouled with 3 seconds left, and his subsequent free throw, gave Tulsa a miraculous 73-72 comeback win over Missouri State on Saturday afternoon in front of a crowd of 3,558 at the Reynolds Center.

We don't play many teams with two McDonald All-Americans. And Javon Small is probably their best player who transferred from ECU. On paper OSU wins by 13 but again Boynton is the coach. Haven't seen the line but I suspect OSU -9.

Who knew he would throw 18 for the year and counting?

Where do we realistically see TU in football and basketball ? Will we still be relevant ? Or will the NIL and transfer portal officially ruin schools like us ?

Women had double the points of TSU with about 4 minutes left in the game when Coach Nelp cleared the bench.

I am not going into last nights loss again as I made my frustration heard yesterday. Finally go home last night and need to catch up on the GOI’s. Tulsa doesn’t play again until Saturday so that should give me plenty of time to get over this. Lol. Tulsa drops 30 in the NET with the loss yesterday. We also have a Quad 4 loss now as Little Rock got dismantled.

Yesterday

Central Arkansas edges out Eastern Illinois 73-70
Winthrop throttles Little Rock in Little Rock 85-68
Memphis beats Texas A&M on the road 81-75
UTSA handily beats Division 2 Arkansas Fort Smith 93-60
Fordham survives North Texas 60-59 at the NABC Brooklyn Showcase
Temple edges out Albany 78-73 in the NABC Brooklyn Showcase

Todays Games

Two games today and only one should be competitive

Jacksonville visits South Carolina State
Mississippi Valley walks through the shadow of death when they visit Gonzaga.

AND ONE

Protecting home court for any team is a must, but before you can be good you have to be able to win on the road. To be great you have to be able to win consistently. We are a decent team and are meeting my expectations of a team that is playing together for the first time. One more win and we are better than last years team. I do see there is more talent on this team than last years but I also believe there are bigger ego’s that have not been proven on this team. Some of these guys need to humble themselves and learn how to play fundamental basketball.

GO TU!!!

How many scholarships TU should offer players from Bixby?

You hear far fewer right wing talking heads complaining about domestic energy policy as of late?

No coincidence that Biden’s energy economy just broke Trump’s all time oil and natural gas production ceilings. At the gas pump, prices have recovered due to over supply.

Key Takeaway: Take the whining from both sides with a grain of salt next time you get worked up about something.
