Women’s basketball splits opening week
After a disappointing opening-night loss, the Golden Hurricane bounces back to start the season 1-1. Women’s basketball is finally back, although the University of Tulsa struggled to make a splash their opening week. Their opener against Incarnate Word was a back-and-forth battle which eventually saw TU unable to close out their lead in the final minutes, but against Rogers State the Golden Hurricanes quickly ran out ahead of the Hillcats and stayed ahead for an impressive 27-point victory.
Men’s basketball goes 2-0 to start season

It was an excellent start to the season for a team with 10 newcomers, tasked with replacing almost all of the production from TU’s National Invitation Tournament runner-up squad last year.

Oklahoma City Thunder season preview
Can Oklahoma’s major professional sports team rebound from its Western Conference Finals defeat? For much of the 2025-26 National Basketball Association season, the Oklahoma City Thunder looked poised to repeat history and become the first NBA team since 2018 to win back-to-back championships.

TU hosts SportsCenter, falls in nail-biter
ESPN’s visit to the University of Tulsa, and the Golden Hurricane fall short on the final play.

The evolution of Tulsa Volleyball
How Tulsa Volleyball became an entirely different team in the past few seasons. As the University of Tulsa volleyball team prepares for their conference season, they do so with a confidence practically unheard of prior to the past couple years under head coach Lauren Ramatowski. The Golden Hurricane is moving into the conference season with an impressive 8-3 record. They have dominated these past few weeks, earning big wins over schools like Creighton and the Big Twelve’s University of Arizona.
Tulsa offense gets stuck in the pig pen
Tulsa falls to Arkansas in final non-conference tilt. Fayetteville, Arkansas — The Arkansas Razorbacks defeated the Tulsa football team 34-6 on Saturday night in the final non-conference game of the season, sending the Golden Hurricane home with their first loss of the season. The “Hogs,” as they are called affectionately by Arkansas fans, and sometimes by opponents given their level of play in recent years, dominated from start to finish on a rain soaked night in northwest Arkansas.
Hurricane football: the early season standout
The only NCAA Division I football team in Oklahoma with a winning record. What a start for the Golden Hurricanes! With a 3-0 record, Tulsa is the only NCAA Division I football team in Oklahoma with a winning record thus far into the season. This is the best start for the Hurricanes in the last 11 years. They began their winning season on Sept. 5 against Oklahoma State University, where they took control of the close game in the opening of the second half to win 24-10.
Division I players are far from the only athletes on campus
There are a number of ways for TU students to pursue athletics on campus. When the term “college athletes” is used, it is almost always to refer to players who are part of an intercollegiate program; an elite group of athletes who compete against other schools, and in some cases harbor aspirations of playing their sport professionally. Many college students at the University of Tulsa who are not Division I athletes, however, love sports and have played or watched a sport for most of their lives.
