Frogs are a 8.5 favorite. Lots of scouts will be there to see Abbas for Oral Roberts and Miles. It will be interesting to see who we put on him to try to slow his production. Maybe Baugh?

Things I’m looking for:

Can Eddie sustain the kind of effort he gave us against Austin Peay? We need him offensive boards, put backs, and bringing the energy.

Can Miles break his 3 point slump. Miles has been effective driving, but we need him to be an outside threat to keep defenses honest.

More dishes to Miller driving the lane after feeds to the low post please.

I’m calling for Baugh to have a breakout game tonight, he is due.

In addition to the individual performances, I'd like to see which lineups are gelling the best. Getting to the point that we are going to start figuring out the rotation.

Should be an entertaining game. ORU likes to play quick and shoot 3 pointres. They shot 41 threes against Tulsa and made 19 but they play very little defense. We should control the boards and get plenty of second chances. Need to play under control and run them off the 3 point line.

Yeah, Abmas shot 43% of threes last season, and 44% so far this year. Can't give guys like that open looks.

The problem is a lot of the supporting cast like Kevin Obanor transferred out so Abmas doesn't have other players to take the heat off of him

Watching ORU warm up it looks like they have about 7-8 guys that can shoot it. Over play the 3 point line and make them shoot two’s.

Does anyone know if those were B12 refs? I didn't like a few calls, but the manner in which they called the game greatly benefited us I think. Allowed a few of what I thought were over-the-backs, and they had a pretty liberal definition of a "block". If this were a ticky tack crew, I wonder of things are different tonight.
