ORU Picked 2nd in Pre-Season SLC Polls

I was a little surprised we were picked this high, with the significant roster changes we have this year.  I think 2nd is a compliment to Cussen and the ORU program.

 

It does bring some comfort when you look at the rest of the Southland Conference and see that most other programs experienced big line-up changes this season as well.  The only exception is SFA, who is picked 1st in SLC polls.

 

Those pre-season games are going to be even more important, as our coaching staff gets new players prepared to fit into the system.  I'm looking for us to have a strong defense - and hope the offense side of the game can keep up.

 

Go Eagles!

Because there are so many new players it would have been nice if the women's team had done an open scrimmage for the fans when the men did. I will be curious to see this team in the preseason games.

Hopefully they come ready to play because to say the least, the Lady Eagles' early schedule is nothing short of brutal.  First-up is Kansas on the 10th, then a trip to Fayetteville on the 13th for a game with Arkansas followed-up with a home game against Navy on the 22nd and a trip to Tulsa on the 26th.  When we get to December the Lady Eagles get a chance at UALR (home) and then trips to Missouri, Northwestern, Marquette and Nebraska.  I don't think anyone would accuse us of being afraid to schedule the Biggies. :wasntme:
