FINALLY! NCCA Men's Basketball season has arrived. We all now have something to watch on a random Wednesday night instead of another Flavor of Love or Rock of Love on VHI [[Not that I didnt enjoy those shows....]].
Oakland University is one of my favorites in the Summit League, not because I attend Oakland University and know the team, but because they have some of the best recruits in the league and have mass amounts of talent on the court.
With the upcoming seasons predictions about the Summit League have been made. The Grizzlies were selected as the league's Best Team and Jonathan Jones has also been selected as Player of the Year via on line preseason poll on the Summit Leagues website.
In Sports News Magizine, they ranked Oakland University as a FAVORITE of the league. They also ranked Junior Kieth Benson as the TOP player, Larry Wright as the best new comer, Jones and Derrick Nelson to the Preseason All League Team { also naming Benson}.
In the league you do have other teams to watch. Oral Roberts has Kevin Ford and Dominique Morrison, both who are on the preseason all team. The two each average around nine points a game. Morrison was also ranked second on top scoring freshman last year. Oral Roberts always come to play and win when they face the Grizzlies, they might give OU a challenge this year. [[Last Season OU beat them the first game, BAD, 81-69, but the second game OU lost 68-65, it was a very close match.]]
