REGIONAL SCOUTING REPORT--The Detroit Free Press

First-round upset: No. 14 Oral Roberts over No. 3 Washington State. The Golden Eagles have two 2,000-point career scorers in forward Caleb Green and guard Ken Tutt, and the Cougars have played above their heads all year. They survived two potentially terrible losses in the final six weeks and played a weak non-conference schedule. ORU, meanwhile, won at Kansas.
