For reference, New Mexico got beat last night by 12 at Air Force - who is 4-9 and 9th place in the Mountain West Conference This year’s team makes the difficult look easy. It is hard to win on the road. Since 1985 when I fell in love with ORU basketball I have not seen a team with such consistency and maturity. Let’s finish strong! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a group of fans sitting behind me that were in awe of his speed. It really is impressive. - there were some I’ll advised 3’s in the 2nd half but the good guys kept their composure when Western started to make a run. It was a good win! Thanks for all of the great info. We weren't able to watch the 2nd half. What was the technical foul on Isaac for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the technical foul on Isaac for? You bet! It was a flop warning. I didn’t get a good look at it as it was a long ways from the rim, almost at half court. I think he was pushed and fell over… or acted like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 23-4....3 straight on the road in the past 8 days and 14-0 in conference....TheEagleman would surely have signed up for that back in early November....ORU has won every game we have been supposed to win...when is the last time this team has done that???....very proud of these guys and win one more at home and the #1 seed is clinched....not really concerned if we lose a game in the regular season as long as we get those 3 in Sioux Falls next month.....this is a special team and they might just run the table.....GO BLUE!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 This team is basically last year's team except for trading Lacis/Lufile for Connor and Patrick. Nothing against Lacis/Lufile but it has been a major upgrade. Today they combined for 24 points, 21 rebounds and solid defense. Now ORU will at least have a share of the Summit League Title with a chance to clinch the League title on Thursday night. Go Eagles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also add that Weaver, Kareem, Carlos, McBride, and especially Max (incredibly) have also all improved greatly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is NOT the same team as last year, by a long shot. They're older, wiser, stronger, etc. College athletes can grow in a variety of ways between the ages of 17-to-18 as freshmen to the ages of 21-to-23 (and beyond) as seniors. This roster may look the same in photos, but otherwise they are changed men. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKC Eagle Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 It is also crystal clear that Max was majorly hampered by injury last year. He is much faster and stronger this year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, he still plays with all the heart, but just seems to have his way, totally dominating on the court. The guy doesn't break 6 feet, without his basketball shoes on, and has the ability to pull up just about whenever and wherever he wants. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was WIU’s broadcast; I think they provide the clips that are shown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
