ORUTerry Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think coaching and style of play are factors as well. As I watched several mid- major basketball games this weekend, I was struck by how unimaginative the offenses are. Lots of dribbling and guys just standing around (very little motion/movement). Most of the offense was driving to the basket and throwing up a contested shot and/or hoping for a foul to be called. Ugly. Contrast that with several Summit League teams that run entertaining offenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Even the “Blew Crew” is ranked in the polls! (and note the Team of Local Interest figuring prominently in the antithesis ranking - lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 That is awesome although I don’t think I have ever heard of this kind of ranking before. I texted that to my daughter who was one of the Blue Crew in KC on Saturday. They earned it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Leave it to Kelly Hines of the Tulsa World: real objective, defending/promoting TU while trying to embarrass ORU at the same time. I would say something about it on her Twitter account, but she blocked me about a decade ago when I called her out on similar homer takes. She ought to be on TU's payroll...

That was the last straw for her after a couple of other run-ins. I think that warrants a decade-long ban, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
