Mid Con's Oral Roberts just knocked off #3 Kansas

[sway1331]

78 -71 in Lawerence. I think the Bison have a way to go still before they can truly compete for the Mid Con title.

Wow! Congrats to Oral Roberts on the big win. Won't it be great to be in the Mid-Con?

I think it is apparent, and something Kolpack mentioned, that we need depth and depth at the 4 and 5. It will come in time, but will be tough now.

Great win for the MidCON ORU CONGRATS+++

I watched this one on ESPN FullCourt (see you guys ought to get this package). ORU was dominant and led for almost the entire game. The Bison will have thier hands full when they meet ORU next year. What a dominant performance and it was at Kansas!

ORU will be a much different team next year with without Green and Tutt although I am sure they will still be a very strong team. Vealy a 6'7" swing man, only a sophmore went 5 for 5 from three point range in the first half and had 22 for the night looks like a three year All-Conference player.

ORU should be the Mid-Con's representative in the NCAA tournament this year. They should be worthy of a much higher seed than the 16 they got last year. They could do some damage.

The Mid-Con teams are doing very well in the none-conference season. It is going to be great to start a history and develope some new rivalries with all these fine teams in the future.

Go Mid-Con!

That board seems to have remarkable few posts all things considered...if it were NDSU knocking off KU, we'd have a minimum 20 page thread debating our seed in the NIT!

I would say that the maturity of their program and their fanbase, may be a part of that. If we beat KU now, it would be the 1st or 2nd biggest win in Bison BB history. ORU has been to the Show. They play teams like KU every year. Its a good win for their program but it is a long season.

I am sure nobody is pushing any panic buttons over at KU either.
