ORUTerry Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 OT - thanks for adding Obanor to the title of this thread. Both players are having a special season and I’m glad they are getting recognized
titansforever Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Like Green and Tutt, each makes the other better and each contributes hugely to the other's success. We are blessed to be watching these two guys in action! I BELIEVE we can beat Ohio State!!
ORUTerry Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 BOSTON, Mass. – The high-powered duo of Max Abmas and Kevin Obanor of Oral Roberts men's basketball were recently named Mid-Major All-Americans by College Insider and finalists for the Lou Henson Award as the top mid-major player in college basketball. Abmas also landed a spot as a finalist for the Lute Olson National Player of the Year for all of NCAA Division I hoops. Leaving right where they left off during the regular season, the NCAA's highest-scoring teammates continue to shine on the national stage combining to average 56.5 points per game during ORU's run to the Sweet 16. They have led the No. 15 seed Golden Eagles to wins over No. 2 Ohio State and No. 7 Florida and totaled 1,173 points this season. Both players scored their 1,000th career point during the year as Obanor hit the mark January 9 at home against North Dakota, while Abmas reached the milestone in The Summit League Championship Quarterfinals March 7 also versus North Dakota. 2020-21 LUTE OLSON ALL-AMERICA TEAM Max Abmas 6-1 So.

eagle88 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 So proud of Max and KO! Praying they will continue this level of play against Arkansas!
ORUalum Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I like Mills policy about getting a first round grade. I REALLY like that ORU has two players submitting their names to the NBA for draft grades!!!!!! 1

If you can get an informed opinion from NBA front offices with the possibility of returning to school what's the downside?
Dr. Cornelius Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Max is rated the #7 PG and #30 overall on ESPN's NBA Draft tracker.
Old Titan Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 If Max and Kevin return to college next season, Max will be a preseason 3rd or even 2nd team AP All-American, and Kevin will be 3rd team or honorable mention. Don’t believe me? Show me all the other returning players in D1 with comparable stats and notoriety. Not many...

titansforever Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Wasn't sure where to put this. Didn't think I should start a new thread. https://tulsaworld.com/sports/college/oru/bill-haisten-as-oru-s-kevin-obanor-flourished-in-indy-his-car-was-stolen-at/article_e725898a-9264-11eb-a6d7-eb27c1ff217c.html
ORUTerry Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I saw that too. That’s kind of a gut punch. Hope they find his car - or maybe not depending on the condition it might be in.
