Loyola is playing intense defense right now. Oregon can't find a shot, but they are still hanging in there.

Loyola is expending a lot of energy on D, their shots are falling a little short. This could be a great finish.

Loyola wins this game if they hit just two or three more open looks over the course of the game.

Villanova in a massive funk right. They haven't scored in 4 minutes. And, frankly, they haven't even been close to a bucket. Brick city.

Both teams are 1/13 combined from 3 in the 2nd half. It has been an intense game.

But Baylor is just tougher.
Nova is missing some key guys. Playing shorthanded and still putting up a good fight. But that turnover ends the game right there.

My lord, Nova's 3 point attempts are not even remotely close. They are off from the moment they are released and it's even clear on TV.

They hit nothin this half. 19 points. Lol.

Baylor played so poor but tons of credit to Wright. He’s a hell of a coach to get that team playing as good as they did without their best personnel.

Disappointing end for the Ramblers. The Beavers played great D and Loyola’s lack of a dynamic perimeter attacker showed. But they also clanged some good looks from 3, especially in that first half.

I’ll really miss Kurtwig. Towards the very end he took a high, looping pass at the left elbow and used his left hand to touch pass it all the way over to the right wing for an open 3. Great stuff.

Maybe this will cool some of the Moser-mania. DePaul seems locked on Kenny Payne through the Kentucky connection. And will Utah chase a guy whose team took damn near 30 minutes to break 30 points? Stay home Porter.

Seems like Arkansas is playing like the 15 seed. What a mess. Or maybe Oral is just peaking at the exact right time. They don't miss.

Yeah can someone answer this. Absolutely love this team.
Oral Roberts is a conservative Christian school which maintains a morals code which reflects its adherence to orthodox Christianity, meaning it is not welcoming of LGBTQ people. However, I don't really hold the basketball players as responsible for the morals code. They probably just went to Oral Roberts because ORU offered them the chance to play basketball.

Nope. I had 0 clue. I do always wonder about the players that choose schools like Liberty and BYU. Had no clue about Oral Bob.
