theeagleman5 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 After getting torched for 15 threes last night in Fargo.....ORU heads up to Grand Forks to play UND on Saturday night....gonna be cold....temps under 0 outside and let's hope that the Fighting Hawks are cold inside as well.....honestly, UND stinks....they have lost 6 of their last 7 and 11 of their last 14.....UND is next to last in the Summit League so this should be an ORU victory.....no disgrace losing at NDSU but it would be if we lose tomorrow night in Grand Forks....TheEagleman expects ORU to be a small favorite and hopefully we get good performances from Obanor, Kearns and Weaver.....can't count on E-Man anymore....maybe he will be back to 100% by the Tournament.....those high ankle sprains are slow healing.....so I expect ORU to pull this one out over the Fighting Hawks....thinking this one shouldn't even be that close.....ORU 78 UND 68........

lakesbison Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 if you lose this, shut down the program. they have only 3 D1 wins.. maybe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 UND opens as -3 this morning with the O/U at 144.....I have snapped up ORU as an underdog since TheEagleman really expected this game to be a toss up or perhaps ORU as a very slight favorite....Teasing ORU and the Over....and will probably take ORU straight up as well.....I think the Good Guys will come to play tonight and the Fighting Hawks just not very good....GO BLUE!

ORUTerry Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 OT has it right; opponents will concentrate/double Kearns and try to make the other guards beat them. They will also try to deny the ball to Obanor and double him when he does get it. Let’s hope North Dakota does not get hot from the perimeter.

theeagleman5 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Sorry to agree with LakesBison but ORU can't lose to UND....they are just not good..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Looks like our 3 point defensive intensity is carrying over from Thursday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Sloppy first half but ORU down only 34-33....need to pick in up in the 2nd....Smith leading with 8 points..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 UND pulling away now at 59-50 with 11 min left....this ORU team very disappointing....how can we lose to this dreck..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This is hard to watch. Two not-very-good teams playing not very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cornelius Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 ORU can forget about the 4-5 game. I think the 7 or 8 spot is where they will end up... not that it matters. Seems like this team has given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 IF we make the Tourney its one and done. Absolutely pathetic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The announcers just said this would be UND's first win against a team above them in the standings. At this pace it will be a decisive win. Just pathetic. But the the baseball team looked great today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Why was Obanor, with another double-double and only 2 fouls, on the bench down the stretch of this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 51 2nd half pts given up.....another opponent shooting 50% from three.....Mills may need to re-examine his defensive philosophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
