Leatherneck Nation

Slight schedule change:

With Denver losing today they will miss the tournament wondering how long before Billups is out in Denver.

The Peoria Journal-Star has Oral Roberts as a 9-point favorite in Saturday's game. But Sports Chat Place has a different opinion: https://sportschatplace.com/college-bas ... redictions

DU's men's hockey team draws about 4 times as many fans as their men's basketball does. Very tough gig for any head coach.

Nets are smoking in Tulsa right now. Crazy.

Two teams I would not want to play in Sioux Falls. Omaha and this Leatherneck team. Sandage is 8 of 9 from deep.

Oral Roberts won Saturday's game 85-81.

Western led most of the game but surrendered an 18-4 ORU run down the stretch, where 11 of those points came from the free throw line.

Colton Sandage led the Western scoring with 32 points. Ramean Hinton had 18. Tamell Pearson had 12. Will Carius had 10.

Western had 16 three-point baskets. Colton Sandage had 9.

Western was 7 of 13 on free throws. Oral Roberts was 22 of 25.

Attendance at Oral Roberts = 1,414.

Game 2 will be Sunday at 4:00 PM.

Even in this crazy stupid year, we have seen something we haven’t for a long time with the men’s program....Improvement through the year. I really hope these players and coaches stick around for more than a couple years. I’m extremely excited for the future of the program.

The Peoria Journal-Star has Sunday's game as a Toss-Up. Sports Jaw has Oral Roberts as a 9-point favorite.

Agree. I was thinking yesterday in the first half when things were going really well for s this may be our most talented group as a whole that I can ever remember. In past years, you bring a kid off the bench and there was a noticeable drop in talent level. We are deep and have a lot of interchangeable parts on this team. Some of them need to beef up a little bit to take us to the next level though.
