They were not overmatched, and no way they're worse than a 12 seed. Their star is p5 quality, and he'll get a look from the NBA.
ORU is maybe the best 15 seed I've seen.
- Thread starter ameoba defense
- Start date
They beat a team from the greatest conference in the history of college basketball, so they probably should have been no worse than a two seed. Maybe a one.
Or even a zero.

By the way, if you are looking at what seed they should have gotten remember that Oral Roberts pulled off the rare Dakota Gambit this year, losing to North Dakota and North Dakota State and South Dakota and South Dakota State all in the same season.
I wonder if that's even happened before?

I’m just amazed we’ve made it this far in the thread without someone lecturing you on how yes, free throws do matter.
What that game "proved" is that if you shoot 16.7% on your threes (on 18 attempts) you are going to have a hard time winning.
Had Wichita made the NCAA average percentage of their foul shots they'd have scored four more points. Had they made the NCAA average percentage of their threes they'd have scored nine more points.
One of those seems a little better than the other.
The Dakotas finally getting their revenge on the state of Oklahoma.
Well they had 2 legit high level P5 players. When you have that, you have a chance against almost anyone on a given night
Watching the game at a bar in Dayton, where I live, the folks there were kind of stunned, but they seemed to be more of OSU football fans. More of a U of Dayton fan base for basketball. But it was fun for me to observe when Ohio State played Dayton in the tourney, some people at the bar wore gear for both teams.
Gonna be fun to see if Oral Roberts can keep it up tomorrow. I don’t know which team’s name got made fun of more yesterday, Colgate or Oral Roberts.

All the Ohio teams root and like each other which is super weird....outside of Cincy/Xavier, Dayton/Xavier.
Ohioans have unbelievable "state pride."
