No, that Ebrique Musbslman
That wasn’t the Musselman from the recruiting pictures.
I guess if you’re ORU you have to let Abmas give those shots a try, why not
Really great response by ORU to the 8-0 Arkansas run. I thought they were heading towards a double digit halftime deficit
Honestly Arkansas is lucky they aren’t down by more. Arkansas is having to work for every basket and Oral Roberts is getting open looks almost every time down the court
Obanor and Abmas finally having quiet nights but the supporting cast for ORU is actually showing up for once. Impressive to see ORU winning without their top 2 playing super well.
More impressive is seeing ORU, the worst defensive team in the tournament (still, even after winning two games) decide to play defense all of a sudden. They held OSU to .92 PPP, Florida to 1.08 PPP, and Arkansas currently has 24 points on 34.6% from the floor and 16.7% from 3.
Let Justin Smith shoot mid-range 2s all day.
The sneakers on these ORU people are off the chain nice.
Arkansas just takes terrible shots
what a killer end to the half for ORU. They could have been up a dozen. Have to feel okay if you’re Arkansas
I’m rooting for ORU for no particular reason, but that was a fun end to the first half.
Seriously. I can’t even count the amount of times an Arkansas player brought the ball up the court, drove to the bucket without a single pass, got cut off like 12-15 feet from the bucket, and just hoisted up a contested mid-range with 20ish seconds left on the shot clock. Such terrible offense.
Even if it’s “in your range,” not sure pulling up from half court with 26 seconds on the shot clock is the play especially when momentum is on your side and Arkansas is on their heels a bit.
Eh they’re up 7 when their biggest lead was 9. All things they’re in a really good spot.
ORU was up 10 at the half in their first matchup too, before Arkansas won by 11.

Musselman had a terrible gameplan on both ends of the court
Muss too busy thinking about which home he’s going to buy in Bloomington
Looks like Arkansas has decided to keep the defensive strategy of not guarding anyone if their name isn’t Abmas
sort of an astonishing margin given Obanor playing like absolute garbage
Arkansas offense is so trash.
