Keenan Henderson Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Time to put the OSU game behind the Eagles and get ready for a home game before the holidays. John Brown played Baylor and lost 96-70, so they will be a little better than the other non D1 schools ORU has played this year. JB does have some size with about five guys 6'7 and taller. Good game for Smith to shake off the rust and show his strength around the basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Trap game??............If ORU loses to John Brown then TheEagleman is done for the season......can't happen...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 I expect ORU to win but it may be tougher than we think, say by 10-15 points. It is hard to know how the Eagles will respond after yesterday's beat down. Will that wake them up or will they still be in a funk? Plus their minds might be on going home for the Christmas break. Hard to tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 JBU played in Ada on Monday night, losing to East Central 78-55. If ORU doesn't win by a greater margin or allow the bench to have a majority of the minutes and win by a similar margin, something is very wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Should be a Holiday Feast for the Golden Eagles at Mabee Center.....expecting Coach Springmann will empty the bench if we have a big lead in the 2nd half but nothing is guaranteed with this bunch......God Bless us everyone....ORU 88 JBU 62......

theeagleman5 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Tonight's John Brown vs. ORU game should be Buy 1 Get 10 Free plus 50 cent hot dogs and sodas for all.....that might get a crowd of 2500+.......students are gone....fans are holiday shopping and TheEagleman will be hitting the Egg Nog very hard....

Old Titan Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Barring frozen weather later this year, tonight's contest will likely draw the smallest crowd of the season for all the aforementioned reasons. But so far this year, the crowds have been excellent, so perhaps tonight will be no exception, particulary in light of yet another "Four Free Tickets" promotion. And Santa is coming to town! NOTE: I can frankly understand not listing the vaunted opponent's name on this otherwise beautiful graphic, but no game time listed either? C'mon now! #DoBetter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Geez that Santa bears a remarkable resemblance to Old Titan....perhaps he is getting free parking and unlimited refreshments for playing Old Saint Nick tonight??? and the refreshments might be from the Blue Turtle Tavern down the road on Lewis..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Jones rolled his ankle early in the second half at OSU. He’s wearing a walking boot. In related news: Worst. Half. Ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 Looks like the guys already left for Christmas break. Started 2-11 from the free throw line and even air balled one. This team looked good when it hit 3s versus K-State and Texas Tech but when the 3s are missing then the Eagles really struggle. They need a wake up call from Coach Springmann at halftime, let us hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
