theeagleman5 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Big game for the Good Guys tomorrow night....really it's an early season must win game as we should not be going 0-2....plus, TheEagleman will be watching his first ORU game in person in Oklahoma in 35 years.....I hope that I haven't come over 1500 miles to watch a loss.....know we are shorthanded with no Ken Holdman and no DBH....the starters will all have to go 30+ minutes and it won't be easy against a scrappy and talented UTSA bunch.....still, TheEagleman expects the Fab 5 of DoMo, Tree, Craion, Niles and Pearson to all come up big......ORU wins in a battle.....82-77......go Blue!.....I plan to be moving down close to the floor after all the OSU fans....I hope to run into a few of you!....

Bogus Smith Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Eagleman, I would expect the OSU fans to stay for a little bit of the ORU game - maybe through the first half (ending around 10:30 CDT) - just to see the Suttons and Brooks Thompson coach at GIA. Look for the blue shirt people if you are looking for the ORU crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 i'll go with ORU by 14. (excerpt) Sean Sutton returns to Gallagher-Iba Arena BY JOHN HELSLEY, Staff Writer, jhelsley@opubco.com 0 Published: November 14, 2011 STILLWATER — It was back in the summer when Sean Sutton first realized the schedule posed a potential matchup with Oklahoma State. And not just a game against the Cowboys, the program he coached for two seasons, but a game inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. “I've not stepped foot in that arena since I moved out of my office a week after I resigned,†Sutton said. Sean, now a full-time assistant to his brother Scott at Oral Roberts, returns to the site of so many memories – most of them good – Tuesday in a NIT Season Tip-Off doubleheader. The Suttons' Golden Eagles face Texas-San Antonio in the late game, following OSU's 7 p.m. matchup with Arkansas-Pine Bluff. UTSA, ironically, is coached by another former Cowboy in Brooks Thompson, making for three players in this pod of the tournament holding OSU playing ties, just none of them on the home bench.

ORUTerry Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Here is a comparison of the teams from Stat Sheet: ORU vs. UTSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue82 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Six points seems about right - 77-71. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 CBSSports.com: ORU, 77-70 RealTimeRPI: ORU, 77-66 Danny Sheridan/USA Today: ORU, -7.5 I just don't see it. This past week, UTSA went into a hostile environment and easily handled a rebuilding but nevertheless talented UTEP team by double digits. We had the same opportunity at West Virginia and never led in the game (BTW, West Virginia was beaten handily today by Kent State in Morgantown, as part of the ESPN 24-Hour Marathon). UTSA is experienced AND deep. We're just experienced. The ghost of Henry Iba takes over the OSU-bred coaching staffs, combining with the jet-lagged referees getting whistle-happy near midnight. Sluggish foul-fest favors the Roadrunners bench: UT-San Antonio 69, ORU 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOLO_Gold Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Reposted from other UTSA related topic: Ranked #237 by ESPN The Magazine and picked to win the Southland Conference Tournament by Sporting News, the Roadrunners should make us work for everything tomorrow night. UTSA returns 4 starters including SLC POY candidate, Jeromie Hill (13.4 pts | 6'8" So.) and their top returning scorer Melvin Johnson (14.9 pts | 6'5" Jr). To put their UTEP win in perspective, the Miners are predicted to finish 7th in CUSA after graduating 8 seniors. I don't want to underestimate the Roadrunners, as Brooks Thompson has proven himself as a big time coach with the ability to motivate his players to win any game, but this is the type of game we should win if we plan on having the kind of year we have been hoping to have.

theeagleman5 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 A Brutal heartbreaking loss in Stillwater tonight.....this is what happens when you miss 3 FTs in the last 6 seconds.....the game should have been salted away.....ah, such is life....TheEagleman still enjoyed watching the game from row 3 with OKCEagle, ORU Terry, OT, Mike Minyard and the great Larry Owens.....a win would have made it a perfect night but it was not to be....Coach Sutton needs to start reading up on when to use timeouts....he should have called one to stem that 16-2 run in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half that saw a 15 pt lead disappear..... :fubar: ....a tough tough loss.......but still a lot of fun to see ORU play again in person....thanks to OKCEagle for the $200 seats.....awesome view to watch the game from courtside!......
