Tulsa finished on a 15-2 run to pull away from Wichita State and notch a 79-68 victory on Wednesday.
I loved the old Valley.. WSU, both ISU's, Creighton, Drake, bradley, so illinois.. great hoops..Always fun to play Wichita State. Especially when TU wins. The atmosphere at the TU-Wichita State games is always better than most TU games.
Conferences should be about geographic, traditional rivals. So much of that is lost today.
Great 2nd half effort.
Larry Joe Bird..The old Valley was terrific. I remember the talent in the 1970's and 1980's. Obviously, the 1960's was even better with Oscar Robertson, but that was before my time.
The 1985 NBA draft had two of the top players from the Valley - Benoit Benjamin and Xavier McDaniel. Harris was also a 1st rounder that year. Really strong basketball then.
