EagleManiac Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Are the 4 even going to count towards our record? Aren't you only allowed 2 non-D1 games or is that an old rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. A lot of factors go into it. They could have been dropped from a couple games for whatever reason, and if the contracts aren’t sign ✌. Depending on when this happened, a lot of people could have been finished with their schedules. At that point, there’s nothing you can do about it. More times than not, I would have the schedule done by July evaluations period. Sometimes a month or two before that. Knowing who is responsible for scheduling, my assumption, they got dropped and had to scramble and no one had room on their schedules to play + no one wanted to play them.

Keenan Henderson Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 St. Mary's is listed as #40 on the Top 144 College Basketball rankings list. They did lose 3 of their top five scorers from last year and brought in 8 new players. So, maybe ORU is caching them at a good time: early in the season when their new pieces are still coming together. Not saying it will be an easy win but maybe the Eagles can go in and sneak out an upset on opening night. Still will have to bring their A game.

theeagleman5 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Gotta love your optimism, KH... TheEagleman can guarantee this won't be an EASY WIN.....LOL....could ORU pull off an upset? Possible I guess but we also have a lot of new pieces that will take time to gel.....Good Guys will likely be a double digit underdog at St. Mary.....and ORU's history of openers on the road vs. decent opponents is not good....not good at all......but Coach Mills will have five weeks to get the boys in shape and give them more of his "toughness" speeches.....keep them coming, Coach!!

Probably wise for both of them. Especially OSU as Boynton really needs to win some games this year. Going into his 6th yr with one NCAA tourney appearance he might want to win some games. Although not sure OSU wants to pay a $10 million buyout to go search for another coach. I am sure Tulsa would love to get out of the game as well if they could!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I've said for years since ORU joined a conference that I couldn't care less whether TU is on the ORU schedule. Their fan base has no respect for ORU's program, looking down their noses any time ORU wins. I would much rather play Missouri State, Wichita State, or even Arkansas on an annual basis. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Connor Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 According to this list, ORU is the only Summit League team that scheduled two "Secret Scrimmages". Maybe some teams are better at keeping secrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansforever Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Just FYI for alumni who live in the Houston area and plan to go to the Nov. 14 game. This is the link we'll be sending to Houston-area alumni for ticket purchases. https://offer.fevo.com/oral-roberts-id26csv-b75ba35?fevoUri=oral-roberts-id26csv-b75ba35%2F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
