That’s how we watched the women’s game yesterday. Must admit, it was fascinating! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 HAHAHA!!...Geez.....if those two bozos can do a pick podcast then TheEagleman sure could do one also.....but i have to say that I can't argue with them....line has jumped to ORU -13 and i certainly see the temptation to go with St. Thomas since they have played us close twice....O/U at 155.5 also a very close call....that's a good number....i have already predicted 83-68 Good Guys so flip a coin on this one if you choose to make a wager.....ORU is gonna win but money line of -1100 is way too much....I think the determining factor here is that St. Thomas played a grueling game last night and should be gassed in the 2nd half especially if we get them into a run and gun game.....TheEagleman leans to ORU.......

titansforever Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The latest Tulsa World story: One down, two to go: ORU plays in Summit League semifinals Monday night Kelly Hines Mar 5, 2023 After going undefeated in the Summit League and capturing the regular-season championship, the Oral Roberts basketball team went to Mahogany Prime Steakhouse to celebrate. “They were asking, ‘Why can’t we do this more often?’” coach Paul Mills said last week. “Because you don’t go 18-0 all the time. “That’s what the NCAA Tournament is: You eat dinner at a really nice place and then you go somewhere not as nice and they’re like, ‘Can we go back to the nice place?’” The Golden Eagles are working to get back to the NCAA Tournament, needing two more wins in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for an automatic berth. ORU knocked off North Dakota 96-80 on Saturday night and plays the Western Illinois-St. Thomas winner Monday night in the Summit League semifinals. Having tasted victory this season and having experienced the thrills of a Sweet Sixteen run in 2021, the motivation to return to college basketball’s biggest stage is strong — especially after missing out on the NCAA tournament last year. “Connor (Vanover) has played in two Elite Eights with Arkansas,” Mills said. “Trey Phipps has been there (to the tournament with Oklahoma). The majority of our players — five of them outside the new guys — have been in Sweet Sixteens. They get it and they understand what it’s like to sit in that locker room (after a conference tournament loss) and stew in a little bit, too.” This team is built for a March run, benefiting from the addition of Vanover, a 7-5 center who was selected defensive player of the year in the league, and the development of role players who work well with Max Abmas, one of the most prolific scorers in the country. “(Opponents) focus on me a lot and my teammates put in a whole lot of work, so I’m going to make the right basketball play and I trust them to go out there and do what they’ve worked on all the time,” Abmas said in Saturday’s postgame news conference. ORU showed its potential for balanced scoring in the quarterfinal game, with six players producing at least eight points: Carlos Jürgens 21, Vanover 19, Kareem Thompson 15, Abmas 14, Patrick Mwamba nine, Issac McBride eight. “We’ve just got a great group of guys,” Mills said. “In 27 years of coaching, it’s the most determined group that I’ve been around. Just a joy to be around every day.” 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I see Mills is still working the "after you've been on vacation to Hawaii you don't want to go to Grandma's house next year for vacation" routine. Would love to her what his daughter's think of that metaphor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakesbison Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 My brother & sis in law both were at St Thomas... so I'm cheering for them "to cover" so get up by 20 & pull the starters. guard them at 3 pt line HARD and they can't win. also ignore the inbred sdsu fans there!
