Our 20 For 20: Two Decades of Reynolds Center Magic series continues this week with a look back at TU's Western Athletic Conference Tournament Championship with a 75-64 win over Nevada on March 15, 2003.
The top-seeded Tulsa Golden Hurricane rolled into the 2003 WAC Tournament title game by defeating UTEP and exorcising some demons with a 10-point win over Hawaii, who had defeated TU in the championship game each of the previous two tournaments at the Reynolds Center. This time it was Nevada standing in the way of an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament and the Hurricane fell behind early before Dante Swanson spurred a 21-3 run that helped Tulsa to a 36-30 halftime lead.
