Cinderella Oral Roberts has two very good players in point guard Max Abmas and forward Kevin Obanor. It was quite a season for guards in the state of Oklahoma this season with Cade Cunningham, Austin Reaves, Devion Harmon, Avery Anderson and Max Abmas.
What we should know is that Max Abmas led the country in scoring this season and is on a tear in this NCAA Tournament.
You put two quality players like Abmas and Obanor together to play a two man game and the college game becomes somewhat simple.
I’m a little bummed right now because Devion Harmon announced today he’s going pro this summer. I knew there was a chance, but I was hoping he’d come back because ‘we know’ Joe C will hire an excellent coach for the program in the Big 8-Big 12 era which has been the second best program in the conference in the contemporary black athlete era…only behind Kansas as far as program accomplishments. OU basketball is a good coaching job.
I’m excited about watching Oral Roberts vs. Arkansas on Saturday evening in the feature game. Arkansas probably has a better team, but the question will be how much and to what extent Abmas and Obanor can carry their team as the competition gets more intense every round moving forward.
Think I’ll catch the Oregon vs. USC Sweet 16 game with coach Dana Altman as well and star Trojan center Evan Mobley.
