I’m ready for this game tonight - the team needs to move past what happened on Friday and come out like they have something to prove tonight.

On an oru related note: did you guys know they fired oruvoice as their PA guy? As much as we give him crap here, that seems like a pretty low move on ORU’s part.

I have stopped predicting this game, but I think the line is correct. However, I thought TU would lose at Mabee last year, and win the previous 3 and lose the 4th at Mabee. I have a 4 game streak of picking the wrong team.

I'm in the same boat as you, the more confidence I have in a TU victory, it seems the more likely it'll be we lose. So I'm just hoping for a 1 or more point win.

I had forgot that ORU picked up guard grad transfer from Missouri State—Austin Ruder. Good shooter who started quite a few games there. He scored 15 in their opener.

I don’t know how Fuqua will fare against Taplin, but Owens and Nzekwesi will give what bigs we have some trouble. They’re decent big men.

I think our depth will prove too much for them.

I’ll admit I know nothing about the current Fuqua but I do remember Richard lighting it up for the Titans.

I watched Fuqua play for Booker T last year. Maybe he got better over the summer.

Owens can stretch the floor too. He's the one that hit the 3 two years ago in the last few seconds. The one things ORU doesn't do particularly well is rebound, even with the size inside. Our game plan should be to have Etou and Igbanu inside and take it right at the pair of them. Get one of them in foul trouble and ORU will really struggle unless they've been hiding Spencer Sutton from everyone and Skippy comes out and hits 8 3's.

Ruder’s very capable of hitting 8 3’s. I watched him at Nixa HS and at Mo St. Very capable shooter that we’ll have to know where he is at all times.

Nixa...hilarious. That place has grown so much over the last 10-15 years. Dated a girl from there when it wasn't actually connected to Springfield and it was a little town on the way to Branson.
