In a throwback game to the old Valley days, Sterling Taplin came up with the clutch play of the game in a nail-biter, and Tulsa came through with a much-needed win. Taplin hit a five-foot runner in the lane to break a tie with 11.3 seconds remaining, lifting Tulsa to a 70-68 win over former archrival Illinois State on Wednesday night in front of 3,478 fans at the Reynolds Center.
