What to Know

The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles and the North Dakota State Bison are set to clash at 9:30 p.m. ET March 7 at Sanford Pentagon in the second round of the Summit League Conference Tourney. The Golden Eagles will be seeking to avenge the 77-59 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played February 17th.

Oral Roberts earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Sunday. They took down the Western Illinois Leathernecks 80-68. Forward Elijah Lufile and guard Max Abmas were among the main playmakers for Oral Roberts as the former dropped a double-double on 18 points and 14 rebounds and the latter had 22 points and five assists.

Meanwhile, the Bison took their contest against the Denver Pioneers this past Saturday by a conclusive 82-62 score. North Dakota State’s success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but forward Rocky Kreuser led the charge as he had 22 points in addition to six boards.

A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Oral Roberts ranks 19th in college basketball when it comes to turnovers per game, with only 10.2 on average. Less enviably, North Dakota State is stumbling into the matchup with the 354th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 9.5 on average.
