What to Know

Get ready for a Summit battle as the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles and the North Dakota State Bison will face off at 8 p.m. ET Saturday at Mabee Center. Oral Roberts is out to keep their 14-game home win streak alive.

The Golden Eagles sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 73-70 win over the North Dakota Fighting Hawks on Thursday. The overall outcome was to be expected, but North Dakota made it more of a contest than the oddsmakers had predicted.

Meanwhile, North Dakota State had enough points to win and then some against the UMKC Roos on Thursday, taking their matchup 69-58.

This next game looks promising for Oral Roberts, who are favored by a full 14 points. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.

Oral Roberts is now 24-4 while the Bison sit at 12-15. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Golden Eagles rank sixth in college basketball when it comes to turnovers per game, with only 9.8 on average.
