Outside Opinions
“They totally improved our basketball foundation in our league. The addition of Oral Roberts to the
Southland Conference does nothing but help us.” - Lamar Head Coach Pat Knight
“When you talk mid-major basketball, people know about Oral Roberts. The one thing that everyone
agrees on is that ORU is not a team you want to have to face. Scott Sutton can flat out coach. ” - ESPN
Analyst Jimmy Dykes
“Oral Roberts joins the Southland Conference as one of the top mid-major programs in the NCAA. The
Golden Eagles became instant favorites to win the league upon their arrival.” - NBC Conference Preview
