TULSA, Okla. –– The University of Tulsa basketball program celebrates Legends Day this Saturday as the Golden Hurricane hosts the Cincinnati Bearcats at the Donald W. Reynolds Center at 7 p.m.

Tulsa will recognize those former basketball players who will make their return to the Reynolds Center at halftime. Some of the Legends expected to be in attendance include members of the 1980-81 NIT Champions David Brown and Ed Lindblad; two-time Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year from the late 1980s Michael Scott; MVC Player of the Year Gary Collier, Lou Dawkins, Cordell Love, J.R. Rollo and Pooh Williamson from the school's first NCAA Sweet 16 team in 1993-94; and 2000 NCAA Final Eight team members Eric Coley, Tony Heard, Brandon Kurtz and David Shelton among a number of other former TU basketball student-athletes.

Saturday's opponent, Cincinnati, has won more AAC games (113) than any other league member since the conference formed prior to the 2013-14 campaign. The Hurricane come into the game looking to avenge an earlier road loss to the Bearcats.

Tulsa (7-15, 1-10 AAC), looking to snap a three-game skid, is led by Jeriah Horne's and Sam Griffin's 15.9 and 15.7 scoring averages, respectively. The 6'9" Rey Idowu has made his presence felt on the inside in recent games for the Hurricane by averaging 18.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in the past two contests.

Under first-year Head Coach Wes Miller, Cincinnati (16-7, 6-4 AAC) is led by 6'0" guard David DeJulius, averaging 14.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, and 6'7" forward Jeremiah Davenport with his 13.2 scoring and 5.0 rebounding averages.
