Outlook:

Tulsa finished the regular season tied for second place in C-USA with UTEP, just one game behind UAB. Coach Doug Wojick always finds a way to keep Tulsa in the top half of C-USA. It helps to be on the weak side of the conference, but losing Justin Hurtt makes it significantly harder.

Prediction: Fifth

Next: UAB Blazers
