Oral Roberts vs NDSU Preview
Look out for the “Baby Bison” in Sioux Falls on Tuesday.
A team without seniors, the North Dakota State Bison (16-16) could punch its ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a win over the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (29-4). The Bison came into the tournament as the No. 3 seed and proceeded to knock off No. 6 seed South Dakota and No. 2 South Dakota State in convincing fashion.
NDSU struggled all season with a young team, which included lopsided non-conference losses to Kansas and Arkansas. The Bison found a way to at least finish in the top three of the Summit League regular season standings and could now reach the Big Dance for the first time since 2020, though that tournament got canceled due to COVID-19. The Bison won the Summit the year before and took on Duke in the 2019 NCAA tournament.
With such a young squad, the Bison might have needed a history lesson on what happened after that. NDSU took on Oral Roberts in 2021 with hopes to three-peat as conference champions and get back to the Big Dance. It all slipped away for the Bison amid a slow start and furious comeback.
Oral Roberts went on to the NCAA Tournament and reached the Sweet 16 in the process. The Golden Eagles stunned No. 7 Ohio State and then Florida in the first two rounds. Oral Roberts also gave Arkansas everything it could handle in a 72-70 loss in the Sweet 16.
Amid high expectations the following season, the Golden Eagles didn’t get back to the Big Dance with their own history lesson. NDSU bounced a 19-win Oral Roberts squad from the Summit League semifinals in 2022 with a 92-72 rout.
Oral Roberts avenged that loss twice during the regular season this year with a sweep of the Bison. The Golden Eagles thumped the Bison 92-69 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on January 19. Oral Roberts then beat the Bison 74-66 in Fargo, North Dakota, on February 18.
NDSU went on two win four-straight contests after that, including two tournament wins. The Bison have won seven of the past eight games.
Oral Roberts, meanwhile, hasn’t lost a game since January 9 amid a 16-game winning streak. The Golden Eagles have strong guard play led by senior Max Abmas, who averages 22 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
NDSU’s young roster has a little experience in junior forward Grant Nelson. He leads the team with 18.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
