Danny Manning is taking Tulsa back to the NCAA tournament. James Woodard scored 27 points to lead the Golden Hurricane to its first NCAA berth since 2003 with a 69-60 victory Saturday against Louisiana Tech in the Conference USA tournament final. ''It's an indescribable feeling,'' said Woodard, who is from Tulsa. To be a part of that, this time around, and for us being so young as a team, it's definitely a dream come true.'' Woodard, who scored 18 points in the second half, made 7 of 8 free throws down the stretch to help Tulsa hold off the Bulldogs.
