Tulsa is set to host the 2010 Conference USA men's basketball tournament.
C-USA's 12 athletic directors voted Thursday to hold the tournament in Tulsa at the BOK Center that is under construction and scheduled to open in September.
The conference board of directors still must give final approval but that is usually a formality.
Tulsa athletic director Bubba Cunningham says he hopes the board will confirm the plan within a month or two.
The 2009 tournament will be in Memphis for the fifth straight year.
No decision has been made on where to play the 2010 C-USA women's tournament.
