ORU

[dlsnid]

They lose in overtime to Ole Miss. They looked pretty good with a strong inside game. I am afraid we will have our hands full.

I agree. They looked good against Baylor in a loss. They shot extremely well today, 31-65 47.7% fgs, 11-19 57.9% 3-pt and 15-16 93.8% fts.

Their big guy is a load inside. He doesn't run the floor very well but if you let him set he can score and defend.

ORU will pound TU. With ole Scott Sutton, they always match up well with TU.

 

[TU Sepp]

I have been to all the home games and I have yet to see anything that makes me believe that we could or can beat ORU.

ORU got pounded today by Loyola. Makes me feel a little better about our chances

We really need to win this year. But we are going to be completely crazy all year. We can look good inside and then we will foul for no reason.

Perimeter defense actually has to play defense for us to have any hope.

Loyola must have some quickness. They had 12 steals to ORU's 1. ORU had 18 turnovers to 12 for Loyola.

I didn't know there was a Loyola in Chicago. Now I do.

 

[TU Sepp]

Didn't Loyola of Chicago win a National Championship back in the 50's.

I'll have to google this.

From Wiki...

In 1963, Loyola won the 1963 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament (then the "NCAA University Division") men's basketball national championship under the leadership of All-American Jerry Harkness, defeating two-time defending champion Cincinnati 60-58 in overtime in the title game. All five starters for the Ramblers played the entire championship game, without substitution.

When you rely on the 3-pointer in a game, you better make a decent percentage. 2 of 21 won't do it.

 

[dlsnid]

Montana was 0 and 4. I hope we play good.

 

[lawpoke87]

These next two games (Oregon State...lost at home to Lamar) and ORU are both very winnable. Those two are probably worse than any teams we will play in conference.

Oregon State is not worse than Tulane

Mean's ORU will probably go 10-20 from 3 against us.

I was going to say 16-20, but your 10-20 is probably more realistic and still frustratingly accurate
