eagle88 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I am seeing this game as one that is winnable. TCU has size so hopefully our bigs really contribute . Looking at who TCU has played and their margin of victory with 1 loss if we play our A game we can win. I see our team improving each game so hopefully Thursday that trend will continue! Go Eagles!

Keenan Henderson Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 TCU has eight new transfers, so they are still kind of figuring things out. The big question is can ORU win on the road? They have 5 out of 6 on the road in the next month. A lot of teams are good at home but few can win consistently on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The Horned Frogs are 5-1 on the season; 4-0 at home and 1-1 at a neutral site. Their only loss was against Santa Clara, 66 to 85. Team stats: Points per game: 71.7 FG%: 42.1% Opponent (39.5%) 3-pt%: 28.1% Opponent (31.2%) FT%: 67.8% Reb margin: +11.7 Assists: 13.8 Turnovers: 14.0 Looks like they are defense minded team that likes to grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 ORU is averaging 34.9 three point attempts a game (#1 in the country), 13.6 made three pointers per game (#2) and averaging 38.9% from beyond the arc (#41). We are averaging 87.4 points per game - #10 in the country. After a relatively slow start, Max is averaging 22.3 ppg - 43.9% from three - along with 2.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 turnovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 ORU shooting around 26 percent from three on the road, including Max about 16 percent (3-19). At home they are around 44 percent from downtown. So can the Eagles and Max hit the threes at TCU. Should be the difference in winning or losing on Thursday night.

ORUTex Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 My wife and I will be there. Just got tickets in section 109 for $10 each (plus about $5 each in Stubhub fees and taxes). I'll be rocking the Midcourt Max t-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 As I said in my original post on this topic I will be there with my son in section 101 although we will attempt to make our way to the section behind the ORU bench. OT, I grew up in Farmers Branch on Lavita Lane. RL Turner class of ‘79. Live about 6 or 7 miles north on the Lewisville/Carrollton border.

What's funny is that I lived there for a few months during a project in the late '80's, and now my son is there, too, after living his entire life in Owasso.

Keenan Henderson Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Max is making a trip back to his hometown Dallas/Fort Worth area. He has an interesting matchup with TCU's Miles. Miles is a PG who is projected as a second round pick in the upcoming draft. This is a good chance for Max to show to the scouts that he is still an elite point guard. It is also a big game for recruiting purposes. If ORU has a strong showing, then recruits in the Dallas and Houston area will want to come to Tulsa. Tomorrow night's matchup is valuable on different levels. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
