It was a fitting throwback to the Nolan Richardson days for Tulsa to have an exciting, gut-wrenching game against former Missouri Valley Conference rival New Mexico State. As in the old days in the early 1980's, Tulsa found a way to prevail in a game that could easily have gone south. P.J. Haggerty scored a game-high 23 points to lead Tulsa to a 65-59 victory over New Mexico State Friday night in front of a crowd of 2,871 at the Reynolds Center.
