When Oral Roberts University hired Scott Sutton in 1999, he was just 28 years old, the youngest D1 head basketball coach in the country. He inherited a team that had achieved moderate success in the past (once making an Elite Eight) and steadily molded them into a perennial Summit League favorite, ...

Who's Got Bracket Fever?
We're just five days away from Selection Sunday — which, in combination with the season premiere of "The Sopranos," is pretty much more fun than any day should be allowed to be — and we're still working on our big NCAA Tournament Project. (All teams remain signed up for. Honestly, you guys rule.)...
They Must Draw 6,000 Fans, Or God Will Call Them Home
So we were watching the Illini's 89-64 victory over Southeast Missouri State last night — we have the ESPN Full Court package; you honestly do not want to know how much money we give that network — and when it was over, we flipped around the other games.
