8-26: NIT Championship Preview (ft. Zac Blackerby from Locked On Auburn)

Tulsa beat New Mexico in the NIT semis to hit 30 wins for the 2nd time in program history, and will now take on the SEC's Auburn Tigers for the NIT Championship. To preview Auburn, we welcome in Zac Blackerby [https://x.com/Zblackerby] from the Locked On Auburn [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-auburn-daily-podcast-on-auburn-tigers-football/id1091363992] podcast. We get into all kinds of stuff: * Vibes around Steven Pearl & the decision to even accept the NIT bid * The road win over Florida and subsequent collapse * Auburn's poor three-point defense vs our elite three-point offense * Keyshawn Hall, Tahaad Pettiford, Kevin Overton, Filip Jovic, and more personnel * The stylistic matchup we've got coming in this one * Tempo & turnovers * More Zac was awesome. I really enjoyed talking with him. Can't wait for this game! Let's win us a title. Reign Cane 🌀 Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 02:29 - Auburn Preview with Zac Blackerby 39:11 - Outro

8-25: Near the Pinnacle

The Tulsa men are in the NIT Final Four and are closing in on their first NIT Championship since 2001. Standing in their way are the New Mexico Lobos in the semifinals on Thursday at 6:00 PM central at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The winner gets Auburn or Illinois State in the championship game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (also in Indy). In this one, I preview New Mexico before airing our guest appearance on The Pit Press Podcast where we previewed Tulsa for New Mexico fans. Hope you enjoy it! Can't wait for Thursday night.

8-24: Tulsa is a 1-SEED in the NIT

Tulsa fell to Wichita State 68-81 in the American Championship semifinals after losing David Green to injury and Tyler Behrend to fouling out while Kenyon Giles went supernova for the Shockers. HOWEVER, Tulsa received a 1-seed in the NIT the very next day and will host Stephen F. Austin in the Reynolds Center in the first round on TUESDAY! That's today, at time of publishing. It's the Tulsa men's first postseason bid of any kind since 2016. Can't wait. Matt's out, so it's just me for this one. I recap the conference tournament for the men & women, preview the NIT for the men, and briefly discuss the unfortunate end of the season for the women. I also have a new article out on Patreon about savoring this extremely fun season while acknowledging questions about the defense & the coach.
