Men's Basketball Holds First Practice of the Season

Practice Day 1 Interview

TULSA, Okla. – The Tulsa men's basketball team held its first practice of the 2015-16 season Saturday morning, an open workout in front of fans at the Donald W. Reynolds Center prior to the TU football game against Houston.

"Our energy was a typical first day of practice," Tulsa Head Coach Frank Haith said. "The guys were excited about getting out here. I think we competed and we got after it. I told the guys, the really, really good teams have that energy not only after the first day, but after the third day and the fourth day – that's a team that wins a championship. Our goal is to win championships here, and this team understands that we have to have that same type of mindset day in and day out."

Watch the video above for full comments from Haith about the first day of practice.

The Golden Hurricane began preparations for the 2015-16 season, which opens Nov. 14 when Tulsa plays host to Central Arkansas at 7 p.m. at the Reynolds Center.
