Tulsa Local Pulse: Eagles Basketball, Clear Skies, and Community Spirit

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, February 21. We start with sports as our Golden Eagles mens basketball team gears up for a big showdown tonight at the Mabee Center on Riverside Drive. Oral Roberts hosts the South Dakota Coyotes at 7 PM, closing out the regular season stretch, with Ty Harper just 32 points shy of 1000 career D1 points. Grab tickets or tune into the Summit League Network, listeners, it promises excitement under those arena lights. Shifting to weather, we have a crisp sunny day ahead with highs around 50 degrees and lows dipping to 25 by evening, per KJRH forecasts. Light winds from the south keep it comfortable for outdoor plans, though bundle up for early chill, and just a 2 percent chance of precip means clear skies for evening drives along the Arkansas River. Outlook stays sunny into tomorrow. No major crime reports from the past day, keeping our streets safe for families heading to Brookside shops or Utica Square. City Hall updates are light, but crews finished repaving sections of Peoria Avenue near 71st, easing commutes that hit daily life hard last week. In real estate, median home prices hover around 240,000 dollars, up 4 percent year over year, drawing buyers to hot spots like Cherry Street. Job market shows about 12,000 openings, rounded up, especially in energy and healthcare along 11th Street corridors. Quick school shoutout: Local teams notched wins, boosting spirits at Tulsa Public Schools. New business buzz includes a fresh coffee spot opening Monday on Cherry Street, while a downtown eatery on Main announced expansions. Mark your calendars for the community art walk Friday along Brady Arts District and a free family fun run Sunday at River Parks. For a feel-good lift, neighbors rallied to restore Gathering Place playgrounds after minor winter wear, proving our community spirit shines bright.
