Oregan St peaked at the right time. They won the PAC12 Tourney. They have turned around the program since firing Michelle Obama’s brother as Coach

There was a great view shown after the upset without comment of about 35 people in a circle holding hands with heads bowed. Probably players plus coaches, support staff, family, etc. Maybe Universty President Billy Wilson who was there.

BTW, ORU’s FT% for the game was 77.7...% (14/18). They led the NCAA InnFT% at 82.6%, which is the highest since 2003. They led the nation in 3s/game @10.9. They also have the highest scorer in the NCAA.

I wouldn’t say that. It’s just that he’s so obnoxious, especially with the Ohio State stuff.

I see ORU actually has some white guy players on the team. That’s a novelty in basketball nowadays.

Where’s the outrage about the jokes about ORU’s name that are going down here?

It’s just good to see a team of Dental students beat a large public university.

Stop the Anti-Dentites.
