theeagleman5 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This miserable season comes to an end tonight as the Bison visit Mabee Center on Senior Night.....it's not often that ORU is a home dog but in this game NDSU is a morning line 1.5 point favorite....TheEagleman actually likes the Good Guys in this one....not sure why but maybe just maybe these Eagles will have one good effort left in them...but then again, maybe not....the Bison are tied for the #1 seed (with South Dakota) with two games left so they are playing for that....ORU played well for 30 minutes up at Fargo before falling apart in the first game last month....this game could go either way depending on NDSU bringing their A game and ORU bringing their D game.....I think our seniors like Young, Anderson and Bradley will be motivated and Big Albert has been fairly consistent getting his 20 or so......maybe we will even get a few students to show up for this finale......might as well go for broke in this final prediction of the season....I will go out on a limb and call it....ORU 82 NDSU 77 to finish a lusty 9-21......

Old Titan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I wouldn't touch this game with a 10-foot pole. I wouldn't even touch it with a 10-point line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 NDSU now -2.5 and the Over/Under is set at 145.5....yeah, OT....anything could happen tonight but it's our final game....TheEagleman has to make a small play just for the heck of it....I am inclined to take the points and tease ORU with the Over....so I get ORU +8.5 points and 139.5 on the Over....unless NDSU pounds us, I should be in good shape...but yeah, the Bison could kick our butts....however, I just have a feeling.....

ORUalum Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 ORU finishes the season with a dud......NDSU by 15 give the senior walk-on all the minutes he can handle......to quote a politician...... "at this point, what difference does it make?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 WOW!...so you guys in the know think that ORU will be in tank mode tonight....blowout?.....I will have to wait for a bit before making a wager then.....actually, I could go for the best of both worlds and take the ORU/Over bet and then also bet NDSU straight up....I could possibly win both....or lose both....it's an option....but TheEagleman was hoping that ORU would show some character tonight and fight to the finish...but I guess we are 8-21 and just plain stink.....

theeagleman5 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Is anybody going to the game tonight?....this will be interesting....first home game in who knows how long that is totally meaningless for ORU....of course, we haven't often been 8-21 either.....it's just embarrassing.....

Old Titan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 PARTING SHOT: only the Mabee Center could manage a 10-minute line in the lobby to admit a 2000-soul crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUIllini Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Pour a little more salt on the wound....ORU still having to wear the "March to the Summit" warm up shirts...guess that march for 2018 starts tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 PARTING SHOT: NDSU just scored the 1000th layup for an ORU opponent this year off the pick-and-roll play. No confetti drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
