Those scores put the Jacks 4 games up on the teams in 4th place. It would take an epic collapse to finish out of the top 3.

Western scored 15 points in the second half but held on to win 47-45 with usd shooting 2-19 on 3s. This game would have been brutal to watch.

A quick side note on the ORU game, I see where they are reporting 9K in attendance. I watched a couple quarters of the game on TV, sorry; but there is no way there were over 5,000 fans at that game. ORU may be worse then USD when reporting attendance. Maybe they count the empty gold seats instead of those seats with actual live humans sitting in them.

It kind like counting the souls that Oral and Richard have healed. Do you suppose those numbers would be right on the money?

Good one Nidaros, ole Oral and Richard have said and done a lot that is quite peculiar to the faith they espouse.

Oral Roberts basketball and Youngstown football are the two worst teams we play in reporting attendance. Their actual attendance seems to be a 1/3 of what they report and it's really annoying seeing them above us in the attendance rankings every year.

Re: In other scores . . .

they probably count God, all the saints, angels, Oral himself, dead alumni watching from the sky boxes (heaven) and the Nielson Ratings homes watching on television (thats got to add up to a couple hundred)

Well let me tell you, since I was at this game: it was brutal to watch.

Louie couldn't hit a 3 to save his life. USD's defense was pretty bad in the first half; WIU was getting any shot that they wanted. USD's intensity and energy really stepped up in the second half, though, partly because Gruis got in early foul trouble and didn't play the last 12 minutes or so of the 1st. They really don't get the ball to him enough though. Too much Louie and Westbrook and not enough Gruis.

My roommate and I spent most of the 2nd half furiously hitting the refresh button on the ESPN page on our phones watching the score from our game.

I probably would have thought the same thing. Gruis really seems to me as their best player but he really doesn't have much help down low. Westbrook a great athlete and louie a great shooter but can't really put it together.
