OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - Men's basketball heads up to Tulsa to take on the Golden Hurricanes for their first exhibition of the year. This is the two teams second meeting for an exhibition, with their first coming to start the 2016-17 campaign. 

The Eagles are looking forward to the preseason opener and head coach Kendre Talley had this to say about the exhibition:

"We are thankful for the opportunity to travel to play Tulsa. It's always a great opportunity for our guys to play against a division 1 opponent." said Talley ahead of this week's matchup. "As a player I had the opportunity to play against the University of Oklahoma and it is a memory that I talk about to this day. Our guys are excited to go up and compete and our fans are all looking to go and support us. This game will help us prepare for the tough start to our schedule and give our guys an idea of what a really good team will look like."
