Oral Roberts University takes down Florida and 22 entries. The Blog is left wondering whether anybody shook Coach Mills' hand.
ORU’s Golden Eagles are the second 15 seed in history to advance to the Sweet 16. The other?
Florida Gulf Coast and Dunk City in 2013. Also the Eagles. Interestingly those Eagles also played Florida that year, losing in the round of 16.
In 2019, ORU was ranked 4th in the nation in student engagement by the Wall Street Journal. A proud moment for the university, the accolade made sense as ORU's student handbook prohibits premarital sex.
Other gems from the handbook? The usual suspects gossip, profanity, immodesty of dress, smoking, drinking, sexual promiscuity all prohibited, along with "social dancing". Several high-risk activities forbidden: canoeing, water skiing, cliff diving, and spelunking. Young adults these days need a little structure, but the real kicker here is that ROLLER BLADES are totally banned. The Blog is generally inclined to cheer for a #15 to begin with, but these kids absolutely need this tournament run.
