jmg1984 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Another shot at Duke in another sport! I think this is a good placement for the eagles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrueBlue82 Posted May 28 Popular Post Share Posted May 28 While any ORU wins in the Norman regional would be icing on top of the cake, I have to say that this draw was about as favorable for ORU as I could expect. Close location for Tulsa fans, a field and stadium that the Eagles have played on every year, the only National Seed that ORU defeated (split) this season, a Northern-based #3 seed, and an opportunity to get some ORU payback against a big-name school in Duke. Despite posting the worst (and only losing) record of tournament participants, I think ORU has as much chance to advance as any #4 seed. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Smith Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 That is a lot of respect for a team with the only losing record in one of the bottom three baseball conferences in the country to get the #55 seed in the tournament. Winning the conference tournament like ORU did probably went a long way to elevating our lot in the tournament. What does that say for the teams seeded #56-#64? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTex Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Along those lines, there are 6 teams with longer odds than ORU (and 2 more with the same) to win the CWS, at +70000. A dollar to win it all would pay $700. https://dknetwork.draftkings.com/2024/5/27/24165658/2024-college-world-series-odds-ncaa-baseball-regionals-tennessee-kentucky-texas-am-unc-arkansas-cws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the only team in the field with a losing record (in arguable the worst conference). Last year’s CWS appearance doing us favors. edit: skimmed right over Bogus’s post who made the exact same point. Enjoy the redundancy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Dalton Patton had some choice words in the general direction of the OU bench as he got the third strike call to end the game; the OU batter that he retired was not a fan. Just good ol' country hard ball... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTex Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Interestingly, Duke is the betting favorite to win the regional. They're -110, while OU is +145. UConn +700, and ORU is +2500, which will "only" win you $25 for every dollar bet. https://www.thelines.com/college-baseball-odds-bets-ncaa-tournament-regionals-tennessee-kentucky-arkansas-north-carolina-2024/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORob2 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 https://www.instagram.com/p/C7iHjehOABc/?igsh=cnR6N2MzbW5xMzcy Baseball America ranked all 64 of the tournament teams, with ORU ranked 63rd. Not a ton of respect from them here(the article on their website is behind a pay wall, but they show the full rankings on their Instagram) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
