Tulsa Is Gaining Ground in the WAC

Tulsa (14-6, 5-2) moved into second place in the Western Athletic Conference with a 79-67 victory over Hawaii at home. The win was the fourth in a row for the Golden Hurricane after losing to Hawaii in Honolulu on Jan. 13. Hawaii (8-10, 2-5) is winless on the road.

A moment of silence was observed before the game for the players, staff and media officials of Oklahoma State University who died in Saturday night’s plane crash.
