About

The University of Tulsa is a private research university located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tulsa (or TU) is represented in the quiz bowl community by the TU Academic Bowl Team, which was founded by Angelo Malabanan in the Spring semester of 2002.

The TU Team has become one of the most active and successful teams in the Southwest region, having hosted many collegiate and high school tournaments since 2004, and having won numerous collegiate (especially TRASH) tournaments.

The club went on hiatus from 2018 to 2025 before being revived in the 2025-26 school year.
