And a couple others, #29 Pitt and #30 Nevada have tough road games this weekend (also, TCU and OSU play each other). Any chance ORU gets enough votes to break the top 25? Maybe but they gotta win first. Stay intense eagles!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacAlum Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Yeah it seems like that thought even crossing my mind immediately jinxed it. One possession win over the last place team ain't gonna cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacAlum Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I do feel less bad after just watching previous ORU opponent #17 St. Marys stumble to the finish line at 11-17 San Diego. The Gaels did not score the last 7 minutes of the game but survived to win 62-59 after leading by 19 at the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a really fun visual for us - while other teams’ fans shrug and say, “So what?” They are actually super jealous. #sourgrapes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 ORU could beat Creighton....watched them lose at Providence the other night in a great 2OT battle and the Friars are another team that we could see in the NCAA First Round if we qualify....so how bad does the Liberty loss last night hurt ORU in the NET rankings?...at least St. Mary held on.....

Dr. Cornelius Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 NET Ranking dropped from 37 to 43. Winning by a larger margin possibly could have helped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 ORU deserves to get dropped 6 spots for almost blowing a 27 point 2nd half lead vs. a Summit League bottom feeder....that wasn't a Power Five team in the green uniforms last night.....thought that only happens in the NBA....

Old Titan Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 On 2/16/2023 at 9:26 AM, Old Titan said: Again, it is possible to be a No. 11 and not play in Dayton - most years, there are SIX No. 11's; four of them comprise the "Last Four In" at-large teams playing in Dayton, the other two simply play against No. 6's in the traditional first round. Here's a bracket from today with ORU as a "stand alone" No. 11 as previously discussed; in this case matched-up with No. 6 Providence. Personally I would prefer to be a "12" rather than an "11", since with a win it draws a "4" instead of a "3" in the second round, but that's just splitting hairs: ANY second-round game would a really tough opponent (barring an unpredictable first-round upset). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 If ORU wins the Summit League tournament and is in fact a 12-Seed as projected, the NCAA Committee announced today that the current No. 5 Seeds that ORU might face are: Creighton Miami Connecticut Saint Mary's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
