Because nobody in my office is interested in the NCAAs

... I've been keeping an eye on ESPN's scoreboard, and Oral Roberts (the 16 seed) was hanging tough in there with #1 Memphis for a good while - it was 33-34 in the 2nd quarter. But the inevitable has happened and now it's Memphis 57, Oral Roberts 41, or something like that.

(Has Oral Roberts ever been in the NCAA tourney before? They don't exactly seem like somebody who'd normally be there, even as a 16 seed.)


(And yes, I know my icon is the wrong sport, but I don't have any basketball icons. I could use my UT icon, and I'm sure I will, later. Unless they lose!)

For completeness' sake... I looked it up. Oral Roberts was the 11th seed in 1984, and lost in the first round. In 1974, however, they lost in the national semifinals.

(So no, they're not a team that you normally see in the top 64. Not for the last 22 years, anyway.)
