March Madness - Friday Games

[CMSOONER]

Maybe someone can convince Meemias Queta to transfer from Utah St to OU.

Ohio State goes up three and Abmas immediately shoots a crazy logo three. Off back iron. Not looking good for the Golden Eagles. They'll need to hope Ohio State can't hit free throws (so far 8-14).

Free throws may be the difference. Ohio State misses the front end of a 1-and-1 up two, ORU goes down and gets fouled with 15 seconds to go.

ORU makes both, Ohio State can't score, and we're going to overtime!

Obanor stands 6'8" and he shoots 88% from the free throw line.

Abmas and Obanor are both playing out of their minds this game. ORU up 6 with 2 to go. Timeout Ohio State.

They just put up a graphic that Oral Roberts hasn't won a tournament game since 1974.

 

[CMSOONER]

ORU has turned up the defense! THE Ohio State University is going to fall.

I think they beat Kansas.

I think they beat Kansas.

In Lawrence, too.

Ohio State gets an and-1 and a stop, then get fouled, but miss both FTs. ORU going to the line for 1-and-1 up 3 with 31.8 seconds left.

washington thinks he's reaves.

washington thinks he's reaves.

Too bad for Ohio State that he's not.

Three point game, Ohio State ball, 13 seconds to play...

 

[MichaelM]

And down go the Buckeyes!

 

[WTSooner]

Told ya'll. I didn't predict the W, but this seemed like a decent matchup for ORU. tOSU is really bad on D. ORU has the Nation's best scorer and is one of if not the best FT shooting team. Great game.

 

[red recluse]

my bracket gone. couldn't be happier for it. congrats to oru.

 

[sheepdogs1]

And down go the Buckeyes!

Looks like the B10 just got a couple of inches shaved off. At least they still have their buckeyes! This was beautiful. Just beautiful. ORU returns Abmas and Obanor next year.

 

[steverocks35]

That was an amazing performance by ORU. Their defense was much better than expected.

 

[CMSOONER]

Loyola's center looks like he's 30 years old. Lol

Obanor may bypass his senior season and go pro. He’s averaging a double double, 18 and 10 rounded off.

What I wouldn’t give for a player like him! His tenacity and toughness on the boards remind me of Ryan Spangler.

Congratulations to ORU!

He can score inside/outside, has the size to rebound and is a great free throw shooter. What's not to like? He doesn't play for us.
