Larry Lewis -- Birt's big game powers TU past Houston

[Chris Harmon]

In a revenge game that Tulsa absolutely had to win, Pat Birt was on fire in the first half, and that was enough to knock Houston down so far that it couldn’t recover. Birt scored 19 of his game-high 27 points in the first half as Tulsa blew past Houston 77-63 on Sunday afternoon in front of 4,321 at the Reynolds Center.
