Eastern's two exhibition games with the Tulsa Eagles set for Sunday, March 5, were postponed to a later date due to the Eagles having several of their players participating with their high school basketball teams in the Oklahoma and Texas State Basketball Tournaments and in other playoff rounds in both states. That date will be set later. Eastern now plays three home doubleheaders this week, the week before spring break, finishing out the pre-spring break part of their schedule in the Midwest Juco Classic at Arrowhead Park, in Broken Arrow, next Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12. Thirty two teams from six states are entered in that tournament.
