    Oral Roberts

    Creepy to root for Oral Roberts? A little, sure. But lots of schools have that problem. Like George Mason (slaveowner!), Brigham Young (polygamist!), or Xavier (Jesuit casuist!).

    Although they didn't make the tournament, my favorite is Robert Morris, which gets shortened to Rob Morris on the SportsCenter scroll, leaving me to imagine the Colts outside linebacker valiantly going one on five against various Northeast Conference foes.

    Anyway, at least it's just Oral Roberts. Does Bob Jones U play hoops?
