Let’s win 2 games in the Big Ten tourney and stay a 4 seed. Stay away from Oral Roberts

[lillurk]

That early window tonight that featured close games for VT/ND, CoC/UNCW, and NKU/UNCW, leading into the WCC final and most all majors getting underway tomorrow…we’ve arrived, friends

Congrats to Oral Roberts for being the double digit seed that will get picked by brackets to win their first game.

Merrimack/Fairleigh Dickinson was in that window as well.   That was a 1 pt game

I would agree.  I hadn't had a chance to see them play until the last two games and sight unseen, I would have said that isn't a team that I would have wanted IU to open up with because I'm typically leary of smalls that win a lot of games.  But they really haven't been impressive at all in the two games I've seen.  Tie game and they may win tonight, but they aren't Florida Atlantic.  Not Oral Roberts IMO either.

Moot point now, but judging from where most have them on their seed lines (12 or 13), they wouldn’t have made it as an at large.

Interesting factoid:  There are seven teams whose that have lost no quad 2, 3 or 4 games.  Five wouldn't surprise you:  Alabama, UCLA, Kansas, Texas, and Baylor.  The last two are Missouri and Oral Roberts.

My guess is I will take whoever they end up playing in the first round.

Oral Robert’s only played 1 Q2 game and that was Liberty at home

Can IU get a 4 seed so we can avoid Drake and Oral Roberts? Please.

24 wins against NET 142 and above plus  4 other wins against non d1 teams 

0-4 against top 50 teams the road 

1 win against the NET top 141 (Liberty-43)

When During 1 f their games I remember thinking that on the right night they could do to somebody what Penn St did to IU. They run such great motion and everybody can shoot and they’re pretty disciplined  with they’re no middle principles so they force a bunch of turnovers. It’s just when Vanover isn’t on the floor they’re so small and they can be wiped out on the glass. But any game they play is fun to watch.

ORU factoid you’ll be the only one on your block who knows: For the 1st 30 or so years of the school’s existence, including the full 6 I was there, they were the Titans. Then, somebody finally realized that the Titans were the old gods of Greek mythology and just maybe that wasn’t the most appropriate mascot for a devout Methodist University. Turned into quite the tempest in a teapot for a minute.

St. Mary's is playing against Gonzaga like we did against Iowa.

Very disappointing game.

So about the same quality as Houston.  A joke but when St. Mary's and Virginia are the only wins against ranked teams, I'm not impressed.  No way should they be overall #1 with that resume.

Messiah Jones from Wofford is in the portal.

PLEASE let him transfer to Oral Roberts.  The jokes write themselves.
