ORU--Round 3

Re: ORU--Round 3

And at about the time the buzzer sounded on this one, the Jacks were finishing off No. 14 Arkansas 3-2. A great day to be a Jackrabbit, per usual!

Congrats to the baseball team as well!!

Re: ORU--Round 3

Wow, that was a great game. Although we mailed it in the last few minutes in regulation, the women pulled it off in OT.

Another, of many, great days to be a Jackrabbit.

Now get seeded out west in the Bay Area so I can see a game in person.

Go Jacks!!!

Re: ORU--Round 3

Totally agree with another poster that Luper probably cost them the game. I think she was thinking Player of the Game and turned the ball over or fouled about six plays in a row instead of thinking team.

I vote for the Joyce Center on the campus of Notre Dame.

Re: ORU--Round 3

I think Williams Arena is a first round site. I hope were there.

Re: ORU--Round 3

Goodness. For my thoat's sake I am glad that is the only game I have a rooting interest in today.

The last 10 minutes of regulation will take years off a guy's life. It had Montana written all over it. Turnovers and complacent offense, wow. The shot by Rotert with 34 seconds to go off the offensive rebound about killed me.

The Jacks were just lucky ORU came out in OT cold or they would have been cooked. Give them credit. They took a deep breath, did not turn the ball over in OT (after 17 in the second half, ugh) and made FTs.

To be honest, I was more excited last year. This year I am more relieved, even as the 3 seed.

Congratulations to Ketty the birthday girl, Kristen, and tournament MVP Maria. Last year was a tough act to follow and are back again.

Re: ORU--Round 3

With our luck, probably Baylor at someplace in Texas

Re: ORU--Round 3

Are the seeds already set per site? If so Williams doesn't match up well for us.

Re: ORU--Round 3

Well the last bracketology had ORU going to Louisville against Ohio St. NOT gonna happen. We shall see. How bout some respect this year NCAA.

Gotta hand it to Kristen....she had an absolute horrid last 4 min of regulation with turnovers and shot selection, but she never shy'd away from wanting the ball....ends up hitting a key basline runner in OT and gets the key steal and free throw at end of game.

Re: ORU--Round 3

I tell you what, those 2 freshman for ORU are good players (I'm sure you didn't need me to tell you that either). The thing that frustrated me the most was the horrible passing the Jacks displayed. Lazy bounce passes, players jumping in the air to make the pass and having no where to go with it, and the telegraphing the passes. Does ORU make the dance too? The teams in the tourney should hope they aren't. Even though I thought #11 should have fouled out in the first half, if they get refs willing to let 'em play a little bit, that defense is really good. Both teams played their arses off tonight and the fans were treated to a great game.

Re: ORU--Round 3

ORU is headed to the WNIT and will be a dangerous team if they are motivated (as opposed to Oakland's one-and-done last year). If every team in the Summit League were to fare better (both in scheduling and on the court) in the non-conference portion of the schedule, we should be able to see two or three teams get at-large consideration for the Big Dance every year. Having teams like IUPUI, SUU, and Centenary occupy the RPI basement is quite detrimental to the elite programs in the conference.

Re: ORU--Round 3

What a game that was! Just got goose bumps seeing highlights on ESPN.

Classy move by ORU Coach to try and kick ball at the end of the game. They have to just be fit to be tied to have play the conference championship up here. Thanks for playing! Have a safe trip home!

Re: ORU--Round 3

Is Centenary gone next year? Two more years for the Yotes and they should be a good replacement RPI. Still comes down to the OOC wins though.
