TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Jerome Jordan scored a career-high 25 points and snared 10 rebounds to lead Tulsa to a 69-50 win over Marshall on Saturday.
Tulsa's 7-foot junior center scored the Golden Hurricane's first eight points, reached double figures in the first eight minutes and had 16 by halftime as Tulsa (12-6, 2-1 Conference USA) opened up a 37-21 lead.
Jordan made 7 of 12 field-goal attempts and 11-of-12 free throws and added three blocked shots.
