this train was bound for glory
Years later, Tulsa continues to benefit from the foresight of Bill Self and others. The Tulsa World (members only) just ran a nice piece on the Reynolds Center, the Golden Hurricanes’ on-campus basketball venue, and the impact it has had on Tulsa’s average attendance. In the new arena, TU has averaged 7,896 over six seasons, a significant improvement over the 6,987 the school averaged during its final six seasons in the city’s Convention Center."In the community, and with the players and coaches, there's a tremendous sense of pride in this building," TU coach John Phillips said. "We have a facility that can make a difference, and the fans know that they can make a difference in this building. You can't put a value on it.”
