Games of Interest (12.19.18)

[Henry Kendall]

UCLA at Cincinnati. What a great team for a home game. Would be great if we were regulars in the tournament to help attract that type of opponent.

 

[Gold*]

I still wouldn’t want Capt. Sportsmanship anywhere near our program.

 

[loca2874]

We’ve dropped out of the top 100. We went from 97 to 101 overnight. We need our opponents to pick it up.

 

[dlsnid]

Is that Net or RPI.

 

[mcane]

NET, just typical reshuffling due to other teams winning. I don't think it reflects on our opponents necessarily.

Everyone in our conference except Tulsa, Cincinnati and East Carolina went up. ECU is pretty rock bottom sooooo

Why is ORU ahead of Wichita State. Other than the obvious for those of you who think they have jokes.

Why is ORU ahead of Wichita State. Other than the obvious for those of you who think they have jokes.

They will be out after curfew tonight, no matter what. Plus the “girls” in Wichita are actually “ladies” and not Ned Flanders.

 

[TU_BLA]

ORU is actually getting hosed by the officiating. 22 FTs for WSU, 8 for ORU...

Nzekwesi is having a monster game for ORU. We will have to stop him. It’s also a good sign that Igbanu should have his way in the post when we play WSU.

 

[URedskin54]

Watching Southern Miss against K-State reminds me of how much I hated Doc Sadler when he was at UTEP

 

[TU_BLA]

Cincinnati is hammering UGLY right now.

 

[ctt8410]

We need another big win. Rooting this hard for KState every game is gonna grind me into dust.

 

[GoldenCaneKC]

Cincinnati looks real good in this game... Cumberland is a baller and they are knocking down shots left and right.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

TUBla is in a flirtacious mood.

I’ve called UCLA U-G-L-Y since O’Bannon made his “I’m not even sure where Tulsa is” comment 25 years ago. It was great that a couple of years later we went back and validated that win by beating them in Pauley.

 

[TU_BLA]

And Cincinnati has now punched UGLY so hard in this game they’re making them look like a SWAC school

 

[mcane]

K State wins with their star sidelined - exhale
Memphis pulls away for a 10 point win over Yooler
Cinncy creams UGLY
Wichita wins by 10 over ORU, but ORU played tough
Dayton beats WMU

all good for TU

I expect a real fight in Mabee - come on TU fans, fill up section M

 

[tupatsfan]

ORU lost by 21....

 

[Gold*]

He was using this greater Boston area scoring method. Plus, ORU has one guy who walks, and Kevin McHale could walk.

 

[mcane]

actually that was a typo supposed to be 20.

 

[tupatsfan]

actually that was a typo supposed to be 20.

A typo? They won by 21, not 20.

How did ORU play them tough exactly?

It was 36-33 WSU at half.

 

[tupatsfan]

It was 36-33 WSU at half.

I get that, but plenty of games are close for a half.

 

[cmullinsTU]

And if games had a 20 minute 1st half and 13 minute 2nd half ORU would've only lost by 11... but then they got outscored by another 10 in the final 7 minutes.

 

[TU_BLA]

actually that was a typo supposed to be 20.

A typo? They won by 21, not 20.

How did ORU play them tough exactly?

And it was 8 pts with 5 to play. WSU hit some shots down the stretch to pull away. Up until that point, ORU hit more FGs and 3pters vs WSU. WSU had made 3x as many FTs until that point and that provided the margin.

After that point, WSU hit 4- 3pts to 0 for ORU.
