TULSA, Okla. –– The University of Tulsa men's basketball team looks to bounce back from a tough loss when Oregon State comes to the Donald W. Reynolds Center Monday night in a game televised on ESPNU.

A late three pointer sunk Tulsa (1-1) 59-58 against the Air Force Falcons on Saturday evening, while Oregon State (1-1) enters having lost to Iowa State 60-50 on Friday.

Tip off for the game is set for 8:00 p.m. Kevin Brown and Jon Crispin will have the call. Fans can also catch the game on Big Country 99.5 FM with Bruce Howard and JR Rollo.

Jeriah Horne leads the Hurricane in scoring, averaging 21.5 points per game. Horne tied his career high in the season opener with 28 points, and then scored 15 in the game against Air Force. Sam Griffin continued his stellar start to his Tulsa career with a team-high 21 points in Saturday's loss. He's averaging 19.0 points per game.

Oregon State enters having suffered a setback against Iowa State on Friday at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. No Beaver reached double digits in scoring, but 11 of the 13 who played, scored in the loss.
