Keenan Henderson Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 We are about two days from the home matchup with Texas Southern. They have played the toughest schedule in college basketball and do not even have a home game until December. So because of that, Texas Southern is really struggling: averages 48 points a game and shoots 30% of the field. Just hope they do not heat up on Tuesday night and ORU can keep them off the offensive boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle88 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I am expecting ORU to play well in front of their home crowd and give us a W! Looking forward to a trip to the Mabee Center! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 I would expect Texas Southern to play very tough and crash the boards. It should be a close game but ORU will finish with a run and win 66-60. Texas Southern has been on the road for a couple of weeks and I think they will run out of gas in the last 5 minutes of the game. This should be win #18 in a row inside the Mabee Center. On a side note: Texas Southern has a 6'8 200 lbs. forward named O'neal, which is Shaq's son. He is not quite as big and fierce as his dad!

theeagleman5 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Shaq Jr. at TSU???....could be a problem for ORU under the boards.....both teams combined are 1-7....oh gosh....this should be a classic.....are the students home for Thanksgiving Break???.....removes a lot of the home advantage......TheEagleman agrees with Keenan that this could be a close game decided in the final moments....take Texas Southern and the points....would expect them to get at least 6 or 7......then again if I were still wagering would have taken Texas A&M last Friday and laid the 20.5.....that would have been a big loss......

After the improvement over the past ten days, I like the home team and will gladly give the points. And, I’d probably go with the under of 142.5. ORU 72-61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue82 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 ORU started at -8.5, and the line has now pushed to -10.5. Vegas must read the ORU message board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Tonight the good guys will finally put a full game together and easily cover. And I'll be joining @OKC Eagle on the 4th row to cheer them on! Go BIG BLUE! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Surely hope you are right, Grip....Good Guys could use a nice big win and clear the bench late.....anybody have a clue when Demari Williams will be returning? We need that dude in the rotation.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORob2 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Speaking of injuries, does anyone have an update on Jalen Miller? The way he walked off after the fall under the basket looked pretty ugly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great catch, Terry - you can just see his No. 12 on the shoulder of his practice jersey; he's also in the second picture, standing behind Jailen Bedford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 ORU looks really flat and fell behind 9-0 out of the gate. Where is the energy/life tonight? I hope they wake up in the second half or it may be a long night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 After what appears to have been a lackluster first half, the Golden Eagles have come out swinging in the second half. Currently tied 49-49 with 10:19 to go. The momentum seems to have shifted. Hopefully they can finish strong and get the W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
