Oral Roberts vs North Dakota Betting Analysis

High-flying Oral Roberts brings the country’s second-longest win streak into tonight’s Summit League contest with North Dakota.

After reaching the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament two years ago, Max Abmas and the Golden Eagles look poised to make another postseason run.

Abmas Pacing Oral Roberts

At 14-0 with four conference games remaining, a win tonight would clinch the regular season title for the Eagles. When the final whistle blows on his college career, Abmas will go down as one of the best scoring guards of this class.

A four-year starter, he’s only missed three games in his college career. During this current ten-game win streak, Abmas is averaging 25.4 points per game. Over his last four games, he’s 20-for-42 (47.6-percent) from three-point range.

Oral Roberts has been lighting up the scoreboard all over the Summit League this season, but the Eagles do most of their damage at home.

Oral Roberts is scoring an average of 90.3 points per game at home this season, and has scored over 100 points four times this season.

The Eagles play at the fastest pace in the conference and lead the league in offensive efficiency, effective field goal percentage, three-point shooting and two-point shooting.

If they make it through the Summit League tournament, this is not a team you want to see in your quadrant of the bracket. Ask Ohio State, Florida or Arkansas fans about 2021.

Fighting Hawks Keep Fighting

North Dakota entered this season with projections to be one of the worst teams in the country. The Fighting Hawks have held their own and are currently riding a three-game win streak.

Earlier this year, North Dakota earned a pair of very respectable non-conference wins over Utah Tech and Cal State Fullerton. Most of North Dakota’s success can be attributed to the offensive side of the ball, not on defense.

The Hawks are last in the Summit League in effective field goal percentage allowed, and opponents are shooting 38.2-percent from three-point range, which is over four percentage points higher than the national average. That’s a disastrous recipe against the country’s 12th-best three-point shooting team.

Oral Roberts vs North Dakota Expert Prediction

We are looking toward the over, which is widely available at 156.5 at the time of posting. These two combined for 156 points in a 84-72 Oral Roberts win on January 21.

At 67 possessions, that was the slowest-paced Oral Roberts game since January 7. That was North Dakota’s slowest-paced game since January 12. So these two teams hit this 156-point mark while playing one of their slowest-paced games of the season.

Any uptick toward the mean (KenPom projects 70 possessions tonight) should push this game comfortably over this number. The over is 5-2 in Oral Roberts’ last seven games. The over has cashed in each of North Dakota’s last nine games.

Prediction: Over 156.5 Points Scored
