ORU Eli Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It appears as if the Cardinal are vulnerable based on the limited info that the first too OOC games can provide. Just a couple of quick tidbits I picked up after reading some season previews and box scores: -Finished with 20 wins last year but only 9th in Pac-10. -Lost 3 seniors from last year's squad (combined for 36 ppg) -Lost by 13pts last week to San Diego but did get a win this week,17pts over Cal Poly. -Their PG is a senior who transferred from Univ of San Fran and has had problems running the point. Their back-ups are a SG who will play point when he has to and a true freshman who the coach is uneasy about throwing in there. -They stick with an 8-9 man rotation and do have 3 seniors but nobody that has really shined yet...team mostly comprised of sophomores. -Their "go-to" guy this year is supposed to be 6'7" Senior G/F Landry Fields...he averaged 6 and 3 last year. -Tallest starter is 6'9...they have a 6'11 guy on the bench but he doesn't seem to get that many minutes so I think size wise, we should match up well. -After two games they're averaging .398 from the field, .316 from 3pt, and .622 from FT We're playing in hostile territory two time zones a way, but this is a winable game for us and I think would make for a great confidence booster. Hope the guys are well-rested and ready to rock on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 ORU needs to cut down on the turnovers...if we do, this is definitely a game we could steal.....or Saturday at Virginia.....better yet, why not both!.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
