    Oakland Looks to Lock Down Spot in NCAA Tournament at Horizon League Championship

    Oakland looks to lock down spot in NCAA Tournament at Horizon League Championship detroitsportsnation.com/college-sports/amuller/oakland-looks-lock-spot-ncaa-tournament-horizon-league-championship/91281/ Alexander Muller 2/28/2017 Dec 23, 2016; Rochester, MI, USA; Oakland Golden Grizzlies head coach Greg Kampe during the game against the Georgia Bulldogs at Athletics Center O'rena. Mandatory Credit: Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are not only the hottest team in the Horizon League at season’s end (winners of nine straight), but also on the country. And should they continue their hot streak this weekend at the Horizon League Tournament, they will punch their ticket to the dance and surely be a trendier pick for many when filling out their brackets. The final Horizon League Tournament held at Joe Louis Arena takes place starting this Friday, March 3. Thanks to a strong finish to the regular season, the Grizzlies clinched a share of the league title with Valparaiso and earned the No. 1 seed in the league tournament. So what’s been the biggest factors to Oakland’s success in 2016-17? The Grizzlies won ten of their 12 true road games this season, with losses coming at Michigan State (77-65 on 12/21) and at Wright State (88-67 on 01/22). That 83.3 road winning percentage ranks 6th nationally among teams who have played a minimum ten true road games this year. 1/3 Last year, Oakland had among the nation’s best offenses, led by All-American Kay Felder.

    The Rage Page Volume X Issue VI The Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 13 December 2008 "The crowd was fantastic….This was a team effort by Michigan with their coaching staff, their players and their fans. They combined to have a great afternoon." … Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski After Michigan’s 81-73 victory over #4 Duke one week ago, the praise for the crowd came from both head coaches, players from both schools, and the media. That atmosphere was, by all accounts, electric. But why should it be a one-time occurrence? Said Krzyzewski: “It’s party time every time [Duke comes] to town, but [Michigan] is a great school and they deserve this level of support for every game.” For once, Coach K is right. Eastern Michigan may be 2-6. They may not have beaten a D-I opponent yet this year. They may be 2-19 against Michigan. But that’s no excuse not to bring it just like we did for the Blue Devils. The next few games on the schedule may seem like we can take them for granted, but for a team and a crowd that had a front row view for the Savannah State game, overlooking any team is inexcusable. EMU may not be on the level of Duke, but it’s our job to make sure that the atmosphere is indistinguishable. Here is the projected starting lineup for the Eastern Michigan Eagles (2-6, 0-0 MAC): 12 L.J.

    PRAY TO PLAY: THE TERMINATION OF BECKIE FRANCIS by Martin J. Greenberg and Nicholas Ullo I. Introduction Oakland University (Oakland) was founded in 1957 as a satellite school to Michigan State University.1 The university was originally named Michigan State University – Oakland.2 The school was renamed Oakland University in 1963 and is a public institution.3 In 1970, the university was granted autonomy from Michigan State and became independent.4 Oakland has an approximate enrollment of 19,740 students, has 139 baccalaureate degree programs and 125 graduate degree and certificate programs.5 Oakland's motto is "Seek virtue and knowledge."6 Oakland athletics participate at the Division I level.7 Previously known as the Pioneers, the teams now are known as the Golden Grizzlies.8 Oakland was part of the Summit League from 1998 to 2013. In September 2013 it was announced that Oakland was moving to the Horizon League.9 During the 2012 Republican presidential primaries, Oakland hosted a debate between Republican presidential candidates on November 9, 2011. CNBC televised the debate nationally and the Michigan Republican Party co-sponsored the debate with CNBC.10 Beckie Francis (Francis) was an often honored and very successful women’s basketball coach both on and off the court at Oakland. 1 OAKLAND UNIVERSITY, http://www.oakland.edu/?id=15&sid=19. 2 Id. 3 Id. 4 Id. 5 OAKLAND UNIVERSITY (May 2, 2013), http://www.oakland.edu/fastfacts. 6 OAKLAND UNIVERSITY, http://www.oakland.edu/?id=1616&sid=19. 7 OAKLAND UNIVERSITY (May 2, 2013), http://www.oakland.edu/fastfacts. 8 OAKLAND UNIVERSITY, How OU Became the Golden Grizzlies, http://www.oakland.edu/?id=1617&sid=19.

    More Than Kay Felder: Oakland Thrives Despite Superstar's Early Departure

    More than Kay Felder: Oakland thrives despite superstar’s early departure to NBA fanragsports.com/cbb/more-than-kay-felder-oakland-thrives-despite-superstars-early-departure-to-nba/ By Adam Biggers 12/20/2016 ROCHESTER, Mich. — Kay Felder’s decision to forgo his senior year and hop into the 2016 NBA Draft was supposed to be the beginning of the end for the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. The absence of one of the most exciting scorers in recent memory was supposed to leave Greg Kampe’s program in shambles this season, said critics. No Kay, no success, they said. They were wrong. Kay Felder is one of the greatest to ever play at Oakland, but the game at OU hasn’t stopped in his absence. Photo: Andy Shippy | FanRag Sports “I think we kind of have a group of guys who have a chip on their shoulder,” said Kampe, who’s seen progression with nearly every player. “When Kay announced that he was going into the NBA, everybody seemed to write our death warrant for this year. Our guys were kind of upset about that. They felt like we were a pretty good team last year, not just a single player…” One year ago, the offense revolved around Felder, who averaged 24.2 points per game — fourth-most in the nation — and led the country in assists, averaging 9.3 per game. On Dec. 22, 2015, Felder scored 38 points during Oakland’s 99-93 double-overtime loss to the then 15-0 and No. 1-ranked Spartans. He was so good that MSU coach Tom Izzo called the display one of the best ever at The Palace of Auburn Hills, the home of the Detroit Pistons and site of the game.
