Tulsa sophomore leaves team

TULSA, OKLAHOMA - Tulsa coach John Phillips said Wednesday sophomore J.T. Ivie has decided to quit the basketball team. <br> <br> Ivie, a six-foot-nine, 299-pound center from Cornelia, Georgia, sat out last season after undergoing shoulder surgery. He played two games as a freshman in 2000-01 before injuring a knee and getting a medical hardship. <br> <br> Phillips said, ``J.T. indicated that he doesn&#39;t want to play college basketball. I&#39;m disappointed because the timing of his decision just prior to the start of practice does not allow us to use that scholarship for this season.&#39;&#39;
