Watch out for ORU in the non-conference schedule.

[thebigabd]

The game is in Norman, but I hope the fellas do not underestimate the Golden Eagles. Always be weary of really experienced mid-major squads. They have 5 guys who average double figures, and a couple of these guys have blown up for 30+ points. Roundtree (a high major player) and Bell-Holter are good enough to give Fitz and Osby all they want in the paint.

Niles - Averages 14 per game
Morrison - Averages 19 per game
Holter - Averages 13 per game
Roundtree - Averages 12 per game
Craion - Averages 13 per game.

This SHOULD be a very good ORU team. Easily the best team they have had since Ken Tutt and Caleb Green were there.

[catoosanumber22]

This team could actually turn out to be better, IF they can avoid injuries and get enough shots for everyone. They have five players who all need their fair share of touches, someone is gonna have to take a backseat.

 

[One More Rebound]

The game is in Norman, but I hope the fellas do not underestimate the Golden Eagles. Always be wary of really experienced mid-major squads.

wary=to be cautious, to be on guard

"Weary" was not the proper word to use here.

ORU stinks.

I hate when abd makes these threads because he is right a lot of the time. It seems that over the last couple years he predicted quite a few of our out of conference losses. Still, I think abd is wrong this time.

 

[Northbase]

At least we have a coach who was an assistant at ORU last year. I bet he knows that team pretty well, so there should be no surprises.

Ya I got laughed off the forum when I told people to watch out for Houston and UTEP. Lost to Houston in Alaska and got run out of the gym by UTEP.

We also lost to Chaminade. Sorry, but you were right more b/c OU was terrible, then b/c the teams you pimped were SO good.

I'd be shocked if ORU stayed within 10 of OU this year.
