Oru sweet 16 thread!!

Arkansas is going to set basketball back about 35 years with all the bricks they are throwing up there. Arkansas is in danger zone here - they are rushing everything which plays right into ORU's hand....this might be a blow out soon.

They aren't getting any second looks either. That's where they should be doing better.

Seems like every time Arkansas takes a "stop the bleeding timeout," they come back in and make a big run. You'd have to think Musselman is trying to figure out how he can sustain that without having to call the stop the bleeding timeouts. They've clearly figured out how to at least slow Abmas down if they can't stop him completely. Going up against a team that athletic, with guards who are so much taller/longer than Abmas to slow him down defensively, can really screw you up over the course of the game.

Would be fun to see ORU keep it rolling though. Also saw that their starting lineup was three sophomores and two juniors (or two sophomores and three juniors). Seems impossible that Obanor and Abmas both come back, but they will be a tough team next year in the Summit if they defy the odds and manage not to lose anybody.

[MrAugustana]

Either the Golden Eagles don't have any confidence in Obanor's ability to score against the Razorback bigs, or they really have no interest in feeding him the ball.

ORU dieing by the 3 and Arkansas finally getting offensive put backs.

[MrAugustana]

Jurgens picking up his 4th foul early really hurt ORU. Whether he's normally that good or he's just stepped up while Abmas has been hounded all night, that stretch he was sitting out is the stretch the Razorbacks made their biggest run.

[EC8CH]

That was so close.

Watched some of the last 10 minutes. Excellent game by ORU. They were no fluke in this tournament. The fact the Bison should have beat them in the Summit championship seems crazy now.

So damn close

Ugh. Heartbreaker. Would've been awesome to see that one drop for Abmas. Should be really interesting to see if he comes back or if he bounces. He would pretty instantly shoot up near the top of the list of most sought-after transfers if he enters the portal. I personally hope he stays, but that doesn't seem to be the trend in 2021.
