The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles are set to visit CHI Health Center Omaha for a non-conference clash against the Creighton Bluejays. The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles come into this matchup with a 3-4 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against SW Christian University, 99-45. Leading the way for the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles was freshman guard Max Abmas as he recorded 18 points and 5 rebounds. Joining Abmas in the backcourt was senior guard Deondre Burns who had a productive outing for the Golden Eagles with 17 points and 5 rebounds.

The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles had a good shooting game against SW Christian University as they connected on 40 of their 86 field goal attempts (46.5%), but they were significantly worse from behind the three-point line (30.8%). The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles won the turnover battle against SW Christian University (15-5), and they dominated them in the rebounding department (54-31).

The Creighton Bluejays come into this matchup with a 5-2 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 83-76 in OT. Leading the way for the Creighton Bluejays was sophomore guard Marcus Zegarowski as he recorded 32 points and 5 assists. Joining Zegarowski in the backcourt was junior guard Ty-Shon Alexander as he contributed 18 points and 12 rebounds.

The Creighton Bluejays had a good shooting game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders as they connected on 30 of their 58 field goal attempts (51.7%), and they were solid from behind the three-point line (41.7%). The Creighton Bluejays lost the turnover battle against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (14-9), but they edged out the Red Raiders in the rebounding department (36-33).

The Creighton Bluejays are coming off an impressive win against a good Texas Tech team, and they will be riding high with confidence against an Oral Roberts team that has struggled on the defensive side of the court. The backcourt has been explosive for Creighton this season as sophomore guard Marcus Zegarowski is averaging 18.4 PPG while junior guard Ty-Shon Alexander is contributing 16.1 PPG, and I don’t think Oral Roberts has enough talent to keep both of them in check. The Bluejays have been great from behind the three-point line this season, and if they are hitting their shots on their home court, it could be a long night for the Golden Eagles. Final Score Prediction, Creighton Bluejays win and cover ATS 76-61.
