Despite the final score this team seem to play a lot better than ORU teams have in recent years. I think we could compete in the Summit once we get rolling

ORU is going to have a tough time in the Summit with the interior size they will encounter when playing the XDSU's.

And it's not just about rebounding; it's about keeping the opposing post players from catching the ball so low in the block. 

South Carolina could have lobbed the ball inside all night if they wanted - no one on ORU's roster could keep them from getting point-blank shots.

And we will likely see the exact same thing vs. LSU, Oklahoma, Tulsa, New Mexico, and New Mexico State in addition to the four games vs. the XDSU's.

4-0 South Carolina vs. none other than 4-0 Tulsa for the Paradise Jam championship tonight in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. (Yes, that's the tournament ORU is scheduled to play in next November).

Vegas likes South Carolina by 10.  If USC plays like they did against ORU, and TU plays like they did against Wichita State, Gamecocks should win in a close one.   Too strong inside for TU's spindly post players.

But, if TU shoots free throws like they did last night against Indiana State, USC will indeed win by double-digits.

TheEagleman watched the game off and on....TU fell way behind early by 17 but battled back and gave SC a run in the 2nd half but eventually fell, 83-75....the Golden Hurricane have a lot of talent and ORU is going to have to play a top game to win over at Reynolds next week.....also watched some of LSU falling to Marquette....first loss for the Tigers who have that super freshman Ben Simmons....he's a handful but last night he passed up a final jump shot that a teammate missed from long range...also saw our old buddy Danny Manning and Wake Forest stun 13th ranked Indiana at the end.....lots of good tournament basketball on this week.....even saw Bill Self and Kansas whip up on poor Chaminade over in Maui last night....that was more of a scrimmage.....KU by 50.....<_<
