Tulsa Local Pulse: Sports, City Updates, and Community Highlights for February 1st

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, February 1. We kick off with exciting sports action as our Tulsa Golden Hurricane mens basketball team hosts rival Wichita State today at 1 p.m. right here at the Reynolds Center. Theyre riding a five-game winning streak with stars like Miles Barnstable and Tylen Riley lighting it up, aiming for their sixth straight win on ESPNU. Womens tennis faced a tough 7-0 sweep by No. 6 Oklahoma yesterday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center, but our golfers showed grit at the Collegiate Invitational, tying for seventh at Guadalajara Country Club. Over at City Hall, officials approved a new traffic calming plan for Riverside Drive near 71st Street to ease daily commutes and boost pedestrian safety, directly impacting our neighborhoods. In real estate, median home prices hover around 285 thousand dollars, up about 4 percent from last year, while job postings in energy and healthcare top 12 hundred locally, signaling steady opportunities. New business buzz includes the grand opening of a craft brewery on Brooksides 41st Street, drawing crowds with fresh brews and live music this weekend. For Black History Month, we have 14 events lined up, from music showcases at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center to trivia nights at historic Greenwood spots, celebrating our rich heritage. Weather today brings mild temps in the low 50s with partly cloudy skies and light winds, perfect for outdoor plans, though bundle up for evenings dipping to 32 degrees. Outlook stays dry through Tuesday. Upcoming, catch the Greenwood Cultural Festival this Wednesday evening at the Dr. Robert D. Guthrie Center. Local schools shine too, with Booker T. Washington Highs debate team clinching regionals. On the crime front in the past 24 hours, Tulsa Police arrested two suspects after a non-injury robbery near Admiral Place and Yale Avenue; stay vigilant and report tips to 911. And a feel-good note, community volunteers restored the playground at Lacy Park in Midtown, giving kids a fresh space to play and bringing families together.
