Oral Roberts knocks off KU!

KU lost at home to Oral Roberts tonight, 78-71. SI cover jinx strikes again?

They looked pretty bad, especially on defense. They got a lot of turnovers but gave up way, way too many open looks. They also turned the ball over a lot and just looked sloppy all night.

Scott Sutton is ORU's coach and it was their first win over a ranked team in over 10 years. I believe Sutton was an assistant for Self at ORU in the early 90's.

I saw they were ahead late but I thought Oral Roberts would eventually blow their lead.

There are rumors that Self wanted them to treat this just like an NCAA tournament game. Whoops!

I was just watching the Who's #1 NCAA Tournament buzzer beaters on ESPN Classic and saw ORU 78 - KU 71 on the bottom line. But I thought no way that can't be Kansas! Sure enough, check ESPN.com and it's true. How crazy!

Looks like KU did treat it as an NCAA Tournament game, because this is usually the outcome.

FIRE SELF!!!! Seriously, that is just awesome. And it makes January 13th a little more intriguing. I thought for a minute that Winthrop was going to beat UNC but they had the horses to pull away at the end. Obviously KU did not.

Other Big 12 scores:
K-State beat Rutgers on the road. RU had 9 field goals and shot 19% while KSU shot a scorching 32%.

Oklahoma State gave up 45 second half points but managed to hold on and beat our old friends Northwestern State by 3.

You can't spell SUCKS without KU.

I was just thinking that Kansas' favorable rankings in the preseason were just a bunch of hot air. I'm glad I was right.

It seems like KU always blows a few games early in the season. Remember folks, it's very very early, lot's of things can happen.

Lorena Bobbit lops off...sorry...thought it was that Riddle Fiddle thread.

Usually Kansas comes out like a big ball of fire and then peaks too early in the season. Guess they came out like a big ball and rolled across the court tonight.
