ORUTex Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I can't imagine that South Dakota, or whoever gets the Great West auto bid, is going to pony up the $31,500 to host. They'll likely be a road team like last year. I'm holding out hope that we either move to Wednesday night at SMU or head to Denton against UNT. Of course, UTSA or Sam Houston St. would be even closer for me, but I'd like to keep it convenient for the Tulsa fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTex Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well there goes my meeting everyone and having dinner plans!! Maybe you guys can meet in the middle in Nacogdoches. Stephen F. Austin is 18-11! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Rumor has it that we are playing SMU on Wednesday evening..... see Mike Brown's blog here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Here is a Wikipedia page that shows teams that are currently committed to playing in the 2011 CIT: 2011 CollegeInsider.com Tournament (Wikipedia) Right now, ORU is the only road team within driving range to SMU - would have to assume the CIT will not pick a team Sunday night that would have to fly to Dallas on such short notice. Stephen F. Austin could conceivably be an NIT team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKC Eagle Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 If we are playing in or around Dallas, I will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLO_Gold Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If you search "Oral Roberts" on Twitter you'll see that multiple people are announcing that SMU is hosting us on Wednesday night. It seems like a pretty safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 ORU vs the Mustangs of SMU?...the Penecostals vs Methodists?...sounds like a good shot at our first post season win since 1975...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 ORU vs the Mustangs of SMU?...the Penecostals vs Methodists?...sounds like a good shot at our first post season win since 1975...... Rider University in Trenton, NJ has announced they are playing in the CIT - that makes 12 teams in so far. Also, The Great West Conference championship game tonight between South Dakota and North Dakota will produce the only automatic qualifier into the CIT. Hopefully, the winner of that border war will be sent to some place like Northern Iowa, and won't host... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Twitter is blowing up with ORU vs. SMU announcements. Actual facts, or just ORU message board suppositions coming home to roost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 TheEagleman is one guy who would love an ORU trip to nearby Trenton, NJ to play vs. Rider U.....but that would be a long bus ride for you Tulsans.....probably not gonna happen....

Old Titan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Creighton can't decide whether to accept an invite to the CIT, or play a CBI game against Oregon and former Bluejays coach Dana Altman. Oregon's PAC-10 affiliation and losing record preclude a Bluejays-Ducks match-up in the CIT. Bluejays vs. Ducks? It's A Possibility.

ManiacAlum Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It would be great to see Creighton and TU in the CollegeInsider bracket, pretty solid field so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Add Buffalo and Great West champion North Dakota to the confirmed CIT list - that makes 16 so far; 8 to go. North Dakota clipped South Dakota by two in double overtime to earn the Great West automatic bid - like those two needed one more reason to amp up their rivalry.
