Start the rumor now. </p><br/></p>I’m nicknaming Tulsastar Justin Hurtt, “Mr. Dj Vu”. It seems like all the senior knows how to dois make big time shots. </p> </p>Over and over again. </p> </p>Evidence #1: Twoweeks ago, Hurtt hit a jumper against SMU to give Tulsa the lead with just ahandful of seconds to play. TU ultimately lost at the buzzer, but you can’tblame Hurtt. </p> </p>Evidence #2: Threedays after his heroics against the Mustangs, Hurtt did it again. He nailed aclutch 17-footer against defending regular season champ, UTEP. His shot won thegame for Tulsa and provided a huge confidence booster to a team thatdesperately needed it. </p> </p>Evidence #3: On cue, justthree days later, he stared down a Memphis defender, blew past him and hit anawkward leaner off the glass to give TU a lead in the final seconds. </p> </p>Starting to see whatI mean?</p> </p>Evidence #4: His mostrecent eye-popper came on Saturday night at home. He rose up, top of the key,with just nine seconds left and buried and 3-pointer. The shot forced overtimeand Tulsa eventually won, thanks to his 22 points. </p> </p>Add Houston to hislist of victims.</p> </p>He’s out of his mindat home as well. Hurtt is averaging ridiculous numbers at the Reynolds Center(and one night at the BOK Center).</p> </p>In 13 total games, he’saveraging 22 points per game. That’s by far the most of any Golden Hurricaneplayer. Hurtt has scored 30 percent of the team’s total points six times inthat span. </p> </p>And he’s doing it inthe clutch. </p> </p>The past six gameshave all come down to the final 90 seconds for Tulsa. </p> </p>If they need anotherclutch bucket, guess who’s taking it</p> </p>Mr. Dj Vu.</p>May 26th, 2011
