ORUTerry Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Link: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/31160535/the-march-madness-pain-index-2021-ncaa-tournament-losses-hurt-worst The March Madness pain index -- Whose 2021 NCAA tournament losses hurt the worst? 8. Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (No. 15 seed, South) How they lost: No. 3 seed Arkansas defeated the Golden Eagles, 72-70, in the Sweet 16 Peak win probability: 79.1% (Oral Roberts 46, Arkansas 34, 15:21 mark of second half) How much it hurt: Let the record reflect that Oral Roberts is the most successful No. 15 seed in NCAA tournament history, the first 15 to have a meaningful shot to reach the Elite Eight, and right up to the final buzzer. Its run is an undeniable, impressive achievement, but it's that final buzzer that is going to make it tough for ORU and its supporters to celebrate any time soon. The Golden Eagles had a pretty clean look from Max Abmas -- the nation's leading scorer -- that would have launched Oral Roberts to the Elite Eight and Abmas into NCAA tournament immortality. Alas, it was not to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 The announcer saying “expect the unexpected” at the 0.44 mark is referencing our win over Ohio State. I think ORU is the only school mentioned by name except for Baylor at the very end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Kinda thought we might be featured a bit more prominently than that, but it's still great to see our wins in there (and Max's missed shot vs. Arkansas. I didn't notice we were the only name mentioned directly other than Baylor. Pretty cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTex Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 This is a pretty good article about Scott Drew, with several quotes from Paul Mills, including a game where Drew used Mills' pessimism for motivation. Seems like Paul learned his lesson! https://sports.yahoo.com/how-scott-drew-has-succeeded-in-the-job-nobody-wanted-233234787.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
