I remember watching that game. I am torn watching this because I love the Tigers my home team but I graduated from ORU. Go Tigers Go! and good luck Golden Eagles.

@Aeruchin

Yeah, I got news for you: We still don't play defense. :P

@Aeruchin

Our defense is STILL non-existent. If we lose a game, that's why. Like the ORU vs TU game this past season. We had them beat, then the second half we decided to just not play defense anymore. Then, like idiots, we decide to run a full-court press in the last seconds...

Wilfong's 3 at :35... he was fouled, why did he only get 2 free throws? Was that rule not in place then?

[Aeruchin]

Is John Wilfong related to Win Wilfong?

[Aeruchin]

Oral Robert's defense on Askew's three pointer was non-existent. Wow.

Go Tigers!

His foot was on the line but he was foulded shooting a three so it evened itself out.
