Oklahoma Academic Team sent two teams, one each in Division I and Division II, to the NAQT Southwest Sectional Championship Tournament held at the University of Tulsa on Saturday, February 9. Harding won Division I, and Truman State A won Division II.
Our team in Division I (Sydney Ashby, David Gagne, Matthew King, Brian Morrow, and Chris Terrill) finished in second place with a 7-5 record after completing a quadruple round robin. The team had only three opponents: a team from Harding and two teams from Oklahoma State. Brian was the second-highest scorer with 36.36 points per game, Matthew was third-highest with 30.42 PPG, and David was sixth-highest with 22.92 PPG.
In Division II, our team (Robert Hayes, Cliff Marroquin, and Sarah Yost) won the middle bracket, thereby earning fifth place, and compiled an 8-5 record. Robert was the third-highest scorer with 53.46 points per game.
Full statistics for Division I are available at http://orgs.utulsa.edu/academicbowl/tournaments_files/NAQT%20SCT%20DI%202008_standings.html, and those for Division II are at http://orgs.utulsa.edu/academicbowl/tournaments_files/NAQT%20SCT%20DII%202008_standings.html.
Because of the teams' performances, it is unlikely that either team will receive a bid to compete in the 2008 NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament at Washington University at St. Louis.
The next tournament for Oklahoma Academic Team is ACF Regionals on February 16 at the University of Tulsa.
