It's the Canadian Professional Basketball League, but I don't know what the acronym stands for.  You can probably "Google it" to find out.

It is a little off the subject but I sometimes wonder how good ORU would have been if Lufile had stayed for his senior year instead of going pro?  Of course, that is the 30-5 team of 22-23.  Coach Mills could have switched between Connor and Lufile at the five and moved DJ over to the wing spot.  The only thing that was missing from that team was a little muscle, which Lufile would have provided.  Any thoughts?

I think it would have made a big difference

I really like him but don’t know if that would have made THAT much of a difference in a 30-5 team, maybe we win one of the close St Mary’s or Utah game. That team was already deep! Patrick Mwamba wasn’t the exact same position, but his versatility made it pretty hard to have him on the bench and he could play the 4 if needed. DJ and Vanover were ahead of him in the rotation so I can see why he decided to leave (unless there was another reason also)

Coach could have put Connor and Lufile on the floor together.  Connor could shoot the 3s and Lufile was an excellent offensive rebounder.  Yeah, it may not have made much difference in the final record as Duke and Houston took it to ORU. One player would not have changed those smack downs into wins but still it would have been fun to watch!

It was unlucky that Lufile was injured and it really took him until the final half of his junior year to really reach his potential.  He turned into a double double machine in the last 10-15 games of 21-22.

Sorry but you guys need to get a life.....Duke still smacks ORU around by 20 with or without that big stiff....he will forever be remembered by TheEagleman for the NDSU handshake like incident in Fargo....now that was entertaining.....
