Oral Roberts in Tulsa

Re: Oral Roberts in Tulsa

Sounds as though the men's team has some travel woes to compliment their poor play:

From Terry V today in the Argus:

Sprawling league requires long travel
PUBLISHED: December 10, 2007

TULSA, Okla. - It's unfortunate that Conference USA already was taken.

That's probably the best name for the 10-school, nine-state Summit League, formerly the Mid-Continent Conference. There's really no good way to divvy up basketball travel partners in a league that has a Texas-sized footprint.

"I don't think it's necessarily easy," South Dakota State women's basketball coach Aaron Johnston said of the between-game travel, "but it's easier than what we had."

Last season, for example, the Jackrabbits made two-game trips from UC Davis to Western Kentucky, from Utah Valley State to Texas Pan American and from IPFW to New Jersey Tech. By comparison, the Summit League schedule has only one such mandatory fly-between situation, from UMKC to Southern Utah.

Nonetheless, the new routes will require some feeling out for members new and old.

The SDSU men and women jumped right into the conference crisscrossing this week by tackling the longest day-between drive: Shreveport, La., to Tulsa, Okla.

Re: Oral Roberts in Tulsa

Does anyone think that Beren and Callahan might have the flu? I would think Cordova would know this so he wouldn't have said what he did. I'm just going to let this go until I hear something one way or the other.

Sooner or later they will all have the flu or maybe some have great immune systems and will stay healthy. I dont think it really matters who went to sick call and who did not. We did not have a good week end and our guys probably know that better than anyone else. I know for certain that I will not read too much into Cordova's statement. I think he had a great game, and hope he will have many, many more before all is said and done.

What's done is done, what's said has been said.

I say we go take out our frustrations on the Gophers.

Go, Jacks. The Gophers have been playing well but are beatable. The Jacks certainly are capable of playing better than they have the last couple of games. A UNI-type effort by the Jacks, coupled with some good shooting, could make Jacks fans forget about that southern road trip.

I attempted to move some posts that had drifted to the Gophers game...messed it up so had to do a cut and paste. See the thread "Jackrabbits v Gophers Dec 12"

Closing down this Oral Roberts thread....
