Underrated life advice: Have a place where you go to just think. A porch. A trail. A coffee shop. A park bench. Somewhere your mind knows it's time to slow down. Most people spend their lives searching for answers. Few create the conditions for them to appear.

Oral Roberts has been to 7 NCAA tournaments with 2 Sweet 16s and an Elite 8. They've beaten Florida, Ohio State, Syracuse & Louisville in the NCAA tournament. They've made 18 Division I postseason tournaments in all. They've got 11 wins over AP Top 25 teams. They've had 18 20-win seasons in D-I.

Central Arkansas has had one. Last year.

Prior to that, the Bears averaged 9.4 wins per year in their 19 D-I seasons. No NCAAs, no NITs. No AP Top 25 wins.

The last time the teams met, in 2022, ORU won 111-78.

A year or so ago, never would I have imagined there would be a day that Central Arkansas would beat Oral Roberts by 30 in men's basketball. A day or so ago, I still would not have expected it.

But it happened last night in the Farris Center. And it didn't feel like a fluke. And though the margin was surprising, the outcome wasn't at all.

Never trailed. Led by double digits for nearly 30 minutes. Never in doubt.

This may not necessarily be an all-time great ORU team. It's probably not going to move KenPom's needle a whole lot. Whatever. But for what the two programs have been historically, to see the shift and have the Bears just methodically dominate wire to wire (and to do it in front of such a raucous, engaged, student-heavy crowd) was an incredibly fun way to open the season and further evidence of the remarkable job that @coachjshulman, @WiddersUCA, @maxshulman13, @RMontgomery5 & co. have done in flipping the culture and building a winner.

It's just one win – and business is about to pick up with trips to Ole Miss, Arkansas and Oklahoma State coming in an 11-day stretch – but it certainly feels like another special season is in store in Conway.

[Clear Leadership @LeadClearly1]

It takes more courage to stay consistent when nobody is watching than to perform when everyone is.

Anyone can show up when the stakes are high and the audience is clapping. The real work happens in the quiet stretches, when the results are slow, the motivation is gone, and the only reason to keep going is the standard you set for yourself.

That is where character gets built, and it is why the people who last are rarely the loudest ones. They are the ones who kept showing up long after it stopped being exciting.

"What we've done is we want to be the destination for Arkansas kids. If Cal doesn't want them, we want them."

The UCA men's basketball team has nine Arkansas players on the roster as they look to build on their historic season last year.

Coach Shulman said they want to keep the in-state talent in-state. Period.

[Logan Whaley @LoganWhaleyWPSD]

In the 'Shulman Bowl,' Central Arkansas got the better of UT Martin 93-71 in an exhibition.

UT Martin is led by Jeremy Shulman. Jeremy's uncle, John, is the UCA head coach.

I talked with both coaches about going up against each other with dozens of family members in attendance.

Posted and turned on football. Anyways, closing thoughts:

Location is a pretty blunt proxy. My data doesn’t capture most of what makes a shot "good" or "bad." Rhythm, balance, contest strength, and who’s shooting matter more than the spot. And not every three is a good three either!

There’s a place for the midrange. Some guys are really good at it. Some defenses take away the rim/three and you need a counter. A good shot for one guy is a bad shot for another.

That’s where coaching comes in. Know your personnel, get buy-in, and build the right habits in practice.

But all things considered, the midrange usually isn’t an efficient look. Especially in college, where there’s no defensive three seconds and most guys just aren’t good enough shot creators to live there.

Shot diets built around the rim and catch-and-shoot threes (paint-kicks, perimeter-swings, etc) win long term.

(I paid Elon $4 to write a longer post, smh)
