Our 20 For 20: Two Decades of Reynolds Center Magic series continues this week with a look back at TU's 86-65 win over Oklahoma State on Dec. 2, 2009.

An undefeated Oklahoma State team came to the Reynolds Center for the first time to take on the 5-1 Golden Hurricane, and TU proved more than up to the challenge as it ran away with an 86-65 win to record the largest margin of victory against the Cowboys since 1958. Jerome Jordan scored six of TU's first nine points to get the home squad rolling and Tulsa went on an 8-0 run late in the first half to gain a double-digit advantage that it would maintain for most of the final 23 minutes in the contest. The Cowboys got within 46-37 with 16:58 to play, but the Hurricane outscored OSU 17-6 over the next six minutes to blow the game open. Oklahoma State would get no closer than 14 points the rest of the way as Tulsa cruised to the 86-65 final. Five players scored in double-figures for the Hurricane, led by 21 points from Justin Hurtt and 17 from Bishop Wheatley. Jordan finished with 11 points, nine rebounds and six blocks before exiting with an injury, while Steven Idlet added 13 points off the bench and Ben Uzoh chipped in with 11 points and six assists.
