Tulsa
goes for CBI title tonight
Peoria,
IL (4-2-2008)
– The University of
Tulsa
will try to end their late season charge on a
high note tonight when they go in search of the
inaugural College Basketball Invitational (CBI)
title.
Tulsa, a program rich in
basketball history with 13 conference crowns and
two NIT titles, won game one of the
best-of-three series on Monday night 73-68,
behind Jerome Jordan's 18 points
and 13 rebounds. Tulsa
has won 14 of its last 17 games, including a 7-1
mark since the end of the regular season, but
Bradley hopes to earn a victory and send the
series back to
Tulsa for a deciding Game
3 on Friday night.
