Thursday, November 15

The Tulsa 66ers get their first taste of game action this weekend when they head to the IAD Center in Carrolton, Texas for the Texas Legends Preseason Jamboree. The 66ers will take on the Erie BayHawks on Friday at 4:00 p.m. and the Santa Cruz Warriors at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

The preseason games will provide Tulsa with a chance to see its training camp roster compete against other competition and provide the coaching staff with critical insight as the roster deadline approaches. The 66ers roster, currently sitting at 16 players, needs to be trimmed down to 10 guys by November 21.

Tulsa Head Coach Darko Rajakovic spoke after practice with Tulsa66ers.com about this weekend's purpose and how the first six days of camp have gone.
