The Game Tulsa will host Missouri S&T at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4 in its final tuneup prior to the start of the 2017-18 season. Live stats for Saturday s exhibition opener and every home game during the 2017-18 season can be found online at tulsastats.com. The Miners fell to Southeast Missouri State, 94-75, on Wednesday night in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Exhibition Excellence Tulsa has played 67 exhibition games since its first one prior to the 1969-70 season and it has a 65-2 record in those contests, including wins in 36 consecutive exhibitions. The Golden Hurricane have won all six exhibition games under fourth-year head coach Frank Haith. TU defeated Northwestern Oklahoma State, 96-65, on Monday night behind 22 points from Junior Etou. The only two exhibition losses came against Conoco Oil in 1997 and the Italian National Team in 1984. Haith Enters Fourth Season at TU Head coach Frank Haith is entering his fourth season at Tulsa, where he has compiled a 58-40 record and made a pair of postseason appearances during his tenure. Overall, he has an on-court record of 263-169 in 13 seasons. Haith has led the Golden Hurricane to a pair of 20-win seasons and postseason appearances (2015 NCAA Tournament, 2016 NIT) during his first three seasons. With a win over No. 9 Wichita State in 2015-16, he led TU to its first win over a top-10 squad since 2000. Later that season, TU won at No. 16 SMU for its first road win against a top-16 program since 1981. Haith in Exclusive Coaching Company Head coach Frank Haith is the only active Division I coach to take teams in four of the Power 6 conferences to the NCAA Tournament. Haith guided Tulsa (The American) to the Big Dance in 2015, Missouri (SEC) in 2013, Missouri (Big 12) in 2012 and Miami (ACC) in 2008. In addition, Haith is one of just 20 active coaches that have taken at least three different teams to the NCAA Tournament. Haith will face three other coaches on that list this season when TU matches up against Tubby Smith (Memphis), Kelvin Sampson (Houston) and Bruce Weber (Kansas State). Tulsa s Success in The American Since joining the American Athletic Conference prior to the 2014-15 season, the Golden Hurricane has posted 34 league wins, which is tied with Temple for third-most in the circuit. Only SMU (44 wins) and Cincinnati (41 wins) have earned more victories than Tulsa s 34, which tops UConn (30) and Memphis (27) along with five other conference programs. TU has finished better than its preseason prediction in each of Haith s three seasons. The Golden Hurricane was picked to finish eighth in the conference prior to the 2017-18 season. Etou Named Preseason Second-Team American Athletic Conference Senior forward Junior Etou was named preseason second-team American Athletic Conference in a vote by the league s head coaches. Last season, Etou led the Golden Hurricane in scoring (12.6 ppg) and rebounding (6.7 rpg) and was the only player to start all 32 games. He was even better in conference play as he averaged 13.4 ppg and 6.9 rpg. Etou scored in double-figures 18 times with six games of at least 20 points, including a career-high 31 points against ECU, and produced four double-doubles. He led the team in scoring 12 times, rebounding 17 times, steals eight times, assists five times and blocks twice. Look Who s Back Tulsa returns eight letterwinners, including four starters, and 72-percent of its offense from last season s team. Returning starters include senior forward Junior Etou (32 starts), sophomore forward Martins Igbanu (17), junior guard Sterling Taplin (30) and senior guard Jaleel Wheeler (29). Other returners include junior forward Geno Artison, senior guard Corey Henderson Jr., sophomore guard Lawson Korita and junior forward Alex Foree. In all, Tulsa returns 68.8-percent of its minutes, 66.9-percent of its rebounding, 79.8-percent of its assists and 65.5-percent of its steals. -2-
New Faces Along with the eight returning letterwinners, Tulsa has five newcomers, four of which are eligible to make their debut this season. The newcomers eligible for 2017-18 are sophomore guard Curran Scott, junior guard/forward DaQuan Jeffries, freshman guard Darien Jackson and freshman guard Elijah Joiner. Sophomore forward Jeriah Horne will sit out the season after transferring from Nebraska. Scott redshirted the 2016-17 season after transferring from Charlotte, where he averaged 10.3 ppg as a freshman in 2015-16. He practiced with the Golden Hurricane last season. Jeffries was an All-Region V and all-conference honoree for Western Texas CC last season after he averaged 15.5 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 1.8 apg and 1.1 spg, while he shot 66-percent from the field.

Haith was named the program s 30th head coach on April 18, 2014. He carries 30 years of collegiate coaching experience and 19 years of advancing to postseason competition. His teams have averaged 20.2 wins in his 13 seasons as head coach, while compiling an overall 245-169 record for a.592 winning percentage, including a 58-40 record at Tulsa. Ten of his 13 teams have advanced to postseason competition. In his first season at TU in 2014-15, Haith led the Golden Hurricane to a 23-11 record and an appearance in the second round of the postseason NIT. The Hurricane, which was picked to finish fifth in its first season of competition in the American Athletic Conference, finished second in the league with a 14-4 record and advanced to the semifinals of the AAC Tournament. TU boasted a 12- game winning streak during the season, which included a 10-0 start to conference play its best league start since 1968-69. In just his second season, TU reached the NCAA Tournament for the 16th time in program history, and the fourth time in Haith s head coaching career. The Hurricane tied for third in The American, and for the second straight year, James Woodard and Shaquille Harrison earned all-conference honors. Despite losing nine seniors and 81-percent of its scoring from the 2015-16 NCAA Tournament team, the Hurricane posted 15 victories in Haith s third season on the Tulsa bench. With only three players on its roster that had appeared in a game at TU prior to the campaign, the Hurricane still managed to out-rebound 17 opponents and lead the league in free-throw shooting, connecting at a.729 clip. In all, Haith s Tulsa teams have compiled 20 wins, and advanced to the postseason in two of his first three seasons, while players have collected four all-conference honors. Haith, 51, was the 2012 Associated Press and United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) National Coach of the Year, while he also was a National Coach of the Year finalist in 2005. Before coming to Tulsa, he spent the previous 10 seasons as a head coach, including seven seasons at Miami (Fla.), followed by a threeyear stint at Missouri. Haith has transitioned all three programs into new conferences, moving Miami from the Big East Conference to the Atlantic Coast Conference and Missouri from the Big 12 Conference into the Southeastern Conference. Tulsa transitioned into the American Athletic Conference from Conference USA on July 1, 2014. In his three seasons at Missouri, Haith s teams posted a 76-28 record and advanced to the postseason in all three campaigns with a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances (2012-13) along with a spot in the 2014 National Invitational Tournament. Haith became the fastest Mizzou head coach to post 50 wins and he was the winningest coach at Missouri through two seasons with a 53-16 record (.768). His first team at Missouri was picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 preseason poll but went on to record a school-record 30 victories and claim the Big 12 Tournament crown before it earned a No. 2 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. The Tigers 14 league wins also were a program record before winning their second-ever Big 12 Tournament title. Following the historic season, Haith received recognition in the form of numerous coaching accolades, highlighted by the prestigious Henry Iba National Coach of the Year and Associated Press National Coach of the Year honors. He also was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year and was the USBWA District VI Coach of the Year. As a first-year coach, Haith guided his team to more regular-season -4- wins than any other Mizzou coach before him, and he became the first Tiger head coach since 1920-21 to win his first 14 games. The Tigers followed that up with a 23-11 record and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2012-13 before a 23-12 mark in Haith s final season. Missouri was the lone college basketball program in the 2012-13 season to advance to NCAA Tournament play with just one returning starter. Prior to Missouri s NCAA Tournament run that year, the Tigers enjoyed their second undefeated season in Mizzou Arena history, going 17-0 at home with wins over a pair of nationally-ranked opponents, including No. 5 Florida. During Haith s tenure, Missouri posted a 10-7 record against top-25 teams, including a 5-5 mark vs. schools ranked among the top-10 nationally. In his first of seven seasons at Miami, Haith guided the `Canes to seven ACC victories (despite being picked last) and qualified for postseason play in 2004-05. He was named a Naismith National Coach of the Year finalist and National Association of Basketball Coaches District 6 Coach of the Year in 2005. Miami returned to postseason play in 2006 as the Hurricanes won 18 games and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NIT, recording the program s first postseason victories since 2000. Over his final four seasons, Haith s Miami squads averaged 21 wins per season, with four consecutive postseason trips, while three of the school s six all-time 20-win ledgers came under Haith. His Miami teams won six total games in the NCAA and NIT, including a memorable run to the second round of the Big Dance in 2008. The `Canes went 23-11 in Haith s fourth season, just one win shy of the school record and he was named a finalist for ACC Coach of the Year and Skip Prosser Man of the Year honors. During his time as a head coach, Haith s players were visible in the community, while he also saw an incredible 31-of-33 seniors walk across the stage to receive a diploma. Haith paid his own way through Elon and graduated in 1988, while beginning his coaching career as a student assistant coach at the school in 1986. Haith helped the Phoenix twice win 20 games and he earned the opportunity to coach at Wake Forest in the 1989-90 season as a graduate assistant. His first full-time coaching position on the Division I level came at UNC-Wilmington from 1990-92, and he then went on to a threeyear stint at Texas A&M from 1992-95, in which he helped the Aggies reach postseason play in 1994. A remarkable 21-win campaign during his lone season at Penn State (1995-96) allowed the Nittany Lions to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 31 years, and he returned to Texas A&M and the Big 12 Conference for one season as the Aggies Associate Head Coach in 1996-97. He then returned to Wake Forest for the 1997-98 season. The Demon Deacons reached postseason play each of his four years in Winston-Salem, including an NIT Championship in 2000 and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2001. Haith parlayed that success at Wake Forest into an opportunity at Texas. Under Rick Barnes, Haith was, at the time, a part of the winningest three-year stretch in Texas Basketball history. The Longhorns averaged better than 24 wins per season and never failed to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns advanced to the Final Four in 2003 and Haith worked magic on the recruiting trail, ushering four McDonald s All-Americans to Austin, including Brad Buckman (2002), LaMarcus Aldridge (2004), Daniel Gibson (2004) and Michael Williams (2004).
