Somehow, I completely spaced tonight's conference game between ORU and Southern Utah in Tulsa. I honestly had no clue it was going on tonight. It's not everyday we've got Tuesday night action on the men's side in the Summit League. As it were, the outcome was no shock. ORU won 71-62.
The win gives the Golden Eagles a full game lead over IUPUI in the conference standings. The Thunderbirds are now 6-9 in league play. Their best-case scenario is...oh, who the hell knows. I don't have time to get a flow chart and slide rule out to figure out the shoulda, coulda, woulda tie-breakers that may or may not occur. Let's wait until Friday morning to speculate.
