theeagleman5 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 TheEagleman is bored at work today so just taking and early look at this game to start some conversation....The Spiders are in the A-10 and having an up and down year at 4-5....they have beaten IUPUI and Wake Forest but lost to Hampton and Longwood....however, Richmond is usually very tough at home so I don't expect ORU to have much of a shot here especially the way we have been playing.....would expect the home team to be favored by about 8 or 9 points.....we will see how it plays out....any word on Obanors' availability or any other unknown injuries?.....

ORU2017grad Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 You guys remember me? I tried to warn you in the spring about Mills and where his program was headed. All most of you wanted to do was challenge me about my info. I see some of you are finally backing away from the Kool Aid Mills is serving. I tried to tell everyone that the players weren’t buying what he was selling. It was very clear after he took the job that he was in over his head. From the way he ran practice, to in game coaching, all the way to his treatment of players. The cracks are starting to show. Be careful standing near a crack it might turn out to be the start of something more ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not sure that TheEagleman can argue with that post above at this point....all I know is that I got my bet in early this morning at Richmond -10.5 and the O/U at 146.5......it's a teaser so I get 6 points on each.....also might just take Richmond straight up at that number.....I just can't see the Good Guys being very competitive today.....Spiders play well at home even though they are mediocre this season.....still this is probably about Richmond 83 ORU 67......tough times at 7777 South Lewis...…….anybody know if Obanor is playing today???

I remember day one I had a feeling something wasn’t right about this guy. He has proven his coaching ability is very limited. People here don’t know basketball so they accept that cup of kool-aid and lick their fingers for more blindly hoping things will improve.

theeagleman5 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Nice retort by ORUGrad….maybe the boys have bought in??....ORU up 29-20 in the early going at Richmond on 8-13 shooting....10 for Saunders.....we will see if they can keep it up.....only 13 minutes into the game....Obanor is playing today....

theeagleman5 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 ORU with only 2 points in the final seven minutes of the first half but host Spiders shooting only 24%......31-23 Good Guys at the break.....this is a surprising result....but still 20 minutes to go...hard to believe Richmond will shoot under 25% in the 2nd half...

You took the bait hook line and sinker. The difference is you’ve been watching basketball all your life and not playing or coaching. That’s why you can’t tell that this guy is limited.

ORUalum Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Someone mentioned that Milton did not sit on the bench during the last home game. Any word if he made the trip to Richmond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglefan 21 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The good guys took a punch to the mouth to start the 2nd half but kept their composure. Weaver's last few baskets were cold blooded. Obanor and Eman are probably our best offensive big man line-up, a very athletic duo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Trying to recall the last time an ORU team won a true road game immediately following the finals-week gap? Traditionally, “death by scheduling”. Nice win... P.S. Also, the last time an opponent was held under 55 points? 60? Heck, 70? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
