ORob2 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Most dangerous teams in the country, how did 1 end up playing 9? https://twitter.com/biggameboomer/status/1635062524692537345?s=46&t=sWe4wycHTzGaKN6ut6Q4wg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 ORU has a VERY good chance to win...I would take the Good Guys plus the points and you may not even need them....4 freshman in the first round of the NCAA tournament is a receipe for disaster.....plus we have an experienced battle tested line up....Coach K isn't on the bench any more although expect to see him on the first row or two Thursday night.....TheEagleman loves our chances...great match up for us and a good road to another Sweet 16 with Tennessee/Louisiana on deck..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Prime Time on Thursday Night.....ORU can't buy that kind of publicity....hopefully our marketing people buy a nice 30 second commercial for the university..... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaLegend Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I may be uneducated regarding Duke, but I was hoping for Orlando, playing a team like Duke/Kentucky. My bracket has ORU winning the national championship, hopefully my predictive powers keep up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUFan2009 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I like this matchup. Yes they are hott right now, but most of their stats are gobbled up by a 7ft freshman. I expect Connor to get the best of this matchup. Add a hott game by Max and we win by 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I am bummed. Not because of the matchup but because my family planned a long weekend beginning this Thursday evening and I won't be able to watch the game. I know, I know. Poor planning. My question is, does anyone know how I could watch the game on some kind of delay? DVR is not an option. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't think I have missed a game all year and I really don't want to miss this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 The biggest question is how does ORU handle Duke's size. They start a front line consisting of a 6'8 forward and basically two 7 foot centers. Kareem may have to match up with one of those 7 footers. If you compare the Eagles's top 8 vs Duke's top 8 then the Blue Devils have 18 inches on the Eagles! Duke may be the biggest team in all of college basketball! I cannot remember the Eagles facing a team that tall in 20 years! How do you game plan for all that size? Somehow ORU will need to turn Duke over and get some fast break points. Also, hitting some 3s is going to be of utmost importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible, and we have a big. We'll have to spread around the scoring like we can together with Max getting hot, but it is possible. Kareem just shut down a 6'11" guy with NDSU. I know that NDSU is not Duke, but I like Kareem. I think he can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
