It was one of those nights that you dread as a parent. Your two sons squared off against each other on the court. That made for a tough night for former Oklahoma State Coach Eddie Sutton as his two sons, Scott (the head coach at Oral Roberts) and Sean (the head coach at Oklahoma State) pitted their teams against each other for the first time.
Take off the uniforms and you wouldn’t have known who the Big 12 team was and who the mid major was in this contest. Oral Roberts led from start to finish as they routed the Cowboys by 15. After closing the first half with a 17 point lead ORU held serve in the second half enroute to their first win over Oklahoma State.
It looks to be a long year for the Cowboys as they looked totally overwhelmed by ORU. NO disrespect to them, but one only wonders how OSU hopes to match up against the likes of Texas and Kansas in Big 12 action. If it is any consolation this is the same ORU squad that knocked off Kansas last year and took Texas down to the wire a week ago. Maybe they should be playing in the Big 12.
On the bright side for Eddie Sutton, at least one of his sons was guaranteed a win last night.
