TISDALE INTO THE COLLEGIATE HOOPS HALL
A big night for the OU family in Kansas City, Mo., this evening as the late Wayman Tisdale will be inducted in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Tisdale, who is the Sooners' all-time leading scorer and rebounder despite turning pro after his junior season, will join Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Travis Grant, coaches Gene Bartow and Jud Heathcote and contributors Bill Wall and Walter Byers as inductees.
OU's Joe Castiglione and Jeff Capel will be in attendance at the Midland Theatre, as will former OU head coach Billy Tubbs, some of Tisdale's OU teammates and Tisdale's family.
Fans can listen to the event live on Sirius/XM Radio (Sirius 122 and XM 143) beginning at 8 p.m. CST. ESPNU is scheduled to televise the ceremony Dec. 13 at 8 p.m. CST.
Tisdale passed away from cancer last May at the age of 44.
