Sorry, Oklahoma and Tulsa hoops teams, you'll have to make way for football.

OU and TU have moved their basketball matchup back a day to Dec. 7 to get out of the way of a potential conflict with the Big 12 and Conference USA championship football games, which will be played Dec. 6, the original date of the game.

The game will be played at 3 p.m. in Tulsa's new BOK Center. It will be the first college basketball game in the arena.

"We wanted to change in case one or both of university's football teams were fortunate to play on that day,” Tulsa director of media relations Don Tomkalski told The Tulsa World. "We were pleased that the BOK Center cleared things to do that.”
