Oral Roberts is now 4-3 while Tulsa sits at 2-4. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Golden Eagles are 25th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 75.8 on average. The Golden Hurricane have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.50% from the floor on average, which is the 29th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
