The Tulsa version of 2018’s U.S. Bank Stadium Basketball Classic is coming soon.
OSU announced Monday that the Cowboys will play against Minnesota in nonconference play for a second consecutive on Dec. 21, 2019 as part of a four-team event at the BOK Center called the BOK Center Basketball Showdown.
OSU will face Minnesota, while Tulsa will face Colorado State as part of a doubleheader. The Pokes lost last year’s battle against the Golden Gophers 83-76 in a venue that was basically a home game for Minnesota. With the BOK Center located in the heart of downtown Tulsa, in the heart of a strong OSU alumni base, payback could be sweet.
