What to Know

The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. Oral Roberts and the UMKC Roos will face off in a Summit battle at 8 p.m. ET Saturday at Swinney Recreation Center. Bragging rights belong to the Golden Eagles for now since they're up 4-1 across their past five matchups.

Everything came up roses for Oral Roberts at home against the South Dakota Coyotes on Monday as the team secured a 103-53 victory.

Meanwhile, UMKC was just a bucket shy of a win on Monday and fell 67-66 to the South Dakota State Jackrabbits.

Oral Roberts is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (10-5-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Oral Roberts is now 20-4 while the Roos sit at 10-14. Two offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Golden Eagles enter the matchup with 85.3 points per game on average, good for second best in college basketball.
