ORUTerry Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Missouri Valley, Summit League roundup (excerpt) Cox Star of the week In a 68-56 win at Fort Wayne on Thursday, Oral Roberts 6-10 senior center Shawn King had 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks. King is the most dominant center in the league. Game to watch A showdown between the two best teams in the conference takes place at 7:05 tonight when IUPUI plays at Oral Roberts. Both teams are 5-0 in the Summit. Look for IUPUI senior guard George Hill to have a big game. If Oral Roberts holds Hill to fewer than 20 points the Golden Eagles should win. Team to watch Western Illinois, the perennial doormat of the conference, has won three straight conference games. Led by coach Derek Thomas, the Leathernecks might have finally turned the corner. Western Illinois has been patient with Thomas, who played high school basketball at Hickman Mills and is the son of former Chiefs great Emmitt Thomas. Thomas will find out just how far his team has come on Saturday when it plays at Oral Roberts. Kansas City Star Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
