Old Titan Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Interesting "Best Of" article from Rivals.com, which names the player, coach, and team of the decade, by conference. ORU swept the awards for the Mid-Con/Summit League: PLAYER OF THE DECADE: Oral Roberts F Caleb Green, 2003-07. Green was a three-time conference player of the year and he averaged 19.6 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists. His finest moment came against Kansas in 2006, when he had 20 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in an upset of the host Jayhawks. COACH OF THE DECADE: Oral Roberts' Scott Sutton. Sutton led the Golden Eagles to the postseason four times during the decade, including three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances from 2006-08. TEAM OF THE DECADE: Oral Roberts, 2007-08. Although Oral Roberts defeated Kansas in Lawrence a year earlier, the Golden Eagles' 2007-08 team was better. That season, Oral Roberts went 24-9 overall and 16-2 in the first season after the Summit League changed its name from the Mid-Continent Conference and expanded to 10 teams. ORU lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament as a No. 13 seed to Pittsburgh. Oral Roberts defeated Oklahoma State 74-59 that season when the Cowboys were coached by Scott Sutton's brother, Sean.
