ORU Bracketology and rankings for 2023

The 12/5 matchup produces a lot of upsets. Sounds good to me. We already beat one hurricane this year. We can handle another.

12/5 vs Miami

 

 

Miami is not a tall team but they are athletic and play good D

Gonzaga Buldogs fall Thursday night to Loyola Marymount in Spokane - will ORU annex TrueBlue82’s stomping grounds amid additional Pacific Northwest real estate, or will it go to Big Sky upstart Eastern Washington?

Silly exercise, but nevertheless fun to watch literally and figuratively drawn out.  #ManifestDestiny

I'm pretty good with how the proportions are laid out even as it is!! One of the comments asked, "Why is ORU so big?" 

Back in the day it wasn't called the Midcontinent Conference for nothing!!

Regardless of how the Zag's territory is broken up, the upper midwest will be dominated by the Eagles, the Golden Eagles, and the Golden Flashes. Seems to be a theme going on there.

ORU up to #48 in the NET after a road win over NDSU (a jump from #63)

It helps that ORU's only four losses are to teams also climbing in the NET rankings:  Houston (1), Saint Mary's (7), New Mexico (31) and Utah State (33) are all on rolls right now.

Sadly, TrueBlue82 is now toiling under the shadow of a brutal Eastern Washington regime.

This is reminding me of never-ending games of "Risk" with my brother decades ago.  Where the heck is Kamchatka??

Andy Katz, who strangely enough was the only national pundit to list Denver as his Summit League bracketology representative heading into conference play, now has ORU as a No. 13 facing No. 4 Marquette:

ORU with a legit shot for 20 wins before entering February as we have 3 home games at beloved Mabee Center in the next 8 days.....should be fun but it's one at a time and we need to bring the A game....can't fall asleep on Denver, Omaha and South Dakota.....and with the students back....Mabee Center should be LOUD and Rockin'!!!  :circle-logoi:
