ORU THREAD
- Thread starter I.I.
- Start date
A 7 point loss to a summit one bid ncaa league. This is a worse loss than Air Force who is at least a mountain west team not a summit league team 😂
Abmas scored 27 of their 42 2nd half points. I’ll stay with my earlier comment. I’ve seen ORU play 3 other games before this one. We should have denied Abmas the ball & double teamed whenever possible.
Do we not practice guarding against the 3 ball? I bet if you checked the stats for Haiths teams at Miami Missouri are they also the worst in the nation.
We are their first d1 win. We lost this game in the 1st half with all the open 3s we gave them.
Haith teams at TU are historically bad at guarding the 3. Not surprising we lost to a team that shoots the 3 anong the best in the country.
19 3s and the bit players were unconscious
Except for misses around the basket TU played well on offense
Griffin never got hot until late
Hate losing to these lovely folks and their student body yelling TU Sucks
ORU’s administration should be embarrassed

Kind of like complaining about the same things over and over and over again when you know nothing is going to change - insanity.
Last I checked....
He plays for ORU --- and led them to a Sweet 16 last year. So... what's your point?
Plus, every one of those ORU players can hit the 3. That changes the game. That helps to even out mismatches and makes them able to beat 99% of all D1 teams on any given night.
I haven't been vested much in basketball since I was a kid and Tulsa went to sweet sixteen and beat Oklahoma State in the early 90s. Based on what I'm reading on here, Haith has similar affinity that Monty has on the football side of things... I know nothing about college hoops, but isn't basketball the only thing that ORU excels at? I remember going to the Mabee center as a kid and they had all these huge portraits of these ORU players from the 70s with massive afros who must've done something impressive to be immortalized.
They certainly don’t excel at academics.
They might as well be considered a D league basketball team.
So essentially, Tulsa is losing to D league teams in basketball.
Hence, we're underperforming from that standpoint as well?

Missed wide open game winner against OSU. I think it was an air ball.
GO TU!!!
I think they have had a pretty good baseball program as well. A few guys make the majors.
They are pretty small this year if a couple of young guys on the bench can't come on later in the year.
Really missing Kevin Obanor who transferred to TX Tech and is doing well there. He is the big they are missing and had a very good tourney run last year.
Abmas can get going and almost beat OSU by himself as well. They manhandled him a bit in that game.
Horne was something else last night for Tulsa! Just played incredible.
Thanks to the late bogus foul play when the great assmus dribbled the ball off his blessed foot the refs gave the Titans the win.
The ORU students were rude and blasphemous and the refs always always favor the home team.
I have long been and remain in favor of stopping this series or putting this low major conference team in its place.
TU should never play in Mabee. Ask Self about the referees, the disgusting obscene cheers from the ORU students and why a TU win ever helps us.
ORU students repeatedly yelled TU Sucks.
It’s happened for years and is unacceptable.
cancel the series or refuse to play in the cesspool of religious hypocrisy on 81st.

Let's stop pretending ORU is the only place that yells teams suck. Ive been to plenty of TU games where our students yell the same thing. It is what it is, some of you need to get off your high horse. We havent done a damn thing in basketball lately to act all high and mighty. Where ORU was a shot away from the elite 8 last year. Should probably wait until we can actually say weve made the tourney before acting like we're better then anyone
Yeah can’t say that “Tulsa sucks” upsets me. Not very original but pretty tame
And also observe what winning can do for external funding!!!
Yep, That sweet 16 run really helped ORU with the budget. Amazing how that works! Win games in the tourney and boosters tend to open their wallets.
My wife and I visited Houston at their old basketball arena and the student section yelled right at us "F&^%$K TULSA".
It happens everywhere.
GO TU!!!!
I’ll never understand TU “fans” that won’t go to a game because the team isn’t good enough for them. I’m driving 7 hours to Boise on Friday to watch, spending the night then driving back Saturday. Same team, same record.
Losses are too painful for travel now and happen too often. So I would say after 18 years of patience my enthusiasm level is down.
I did this travel in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999,2000, 2001, 2002. Those were really good teams to travel to see and all had NCAA tournament capability.
I’m talking about the folks that won’t travel across town to watch the team they root for. see the two posts above mine.
