Oklahoma Wesleyan men's basketball takes the floor on Friday night in the round of 16 in the NAIA national tournament.


The Eagles, the 1-seed in the Liston quadrant, take on the 4-seed in the Langston Lions, a team they've played already once this season. OKWU fell to the Lions on Nov. 1 in Skiatook, 73-70.


Head coach Donnie Bostwick talks about the last meeting with Langston.


This is the third year in a row and fifth time in six years that OKWU has advanced to the round of 16. Last season, OKWU played four games at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City and made an appearance in the national championship game.


Bostwick reflects on his first time at Municipal Auditorium, four years before he was named head coach at OKWU.


The Eagles and Lions tip-off at 5 p.m. in Kansas City. Coverage can be heard on Sports Talk, 99.1 FM, 1500 AM - KPGM, with a mid-game simulcast on KWON - AM 1400, FM 93.3 and 95.1.
