Pick
I’m going to stick with Oral Roberts here. The Golden Eagles have simply been the team to beat in the Summit League this season and even though this is a big number, I’m not really looking to step in front of them when North Dakota is the alternative. The Fighting Hawks have been getting crushed by lesser teams in conference play and I think this is another spot where we should see a comfortable win from ORU here.
