Bogus Smith Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Eagles shoot up RPI ranks by: MIKE BROWN World Sports Writer To keep ascending, Oral Roberts needs to stay on the winning track A historic run of Summit League basketball wins has Oral Roberts soaring to unprecedented heights in the ratings percentage index. The Golden Eagles were at No. 49 after Thursday's 60-53 win over Oakland (Mich.), according to collegerpi.com. No ORU team has been as high this late in the season. A higher number means a potentially higher seed should the Eagles qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The same site has ORU projected as a No. 13 seed, playing Drake in the first round. But ORU's RPI could plummet with any loss. That gives added importance to Saturday's game with Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne as the Eagles try to extend the best start in Summit League history to 12-0. http://www.tulsaworld.com/sports/extra/ ...
