ORU #7 in the CBS Non-BCS power pyramid...

[NDSUstudent]

There is a pretty good team coming to the BSA on Saturday...


7. Oral Roberts (20-4). A Sentence: If ORU can manage to sweep the Dakota States this week, in all likelihood they’ll be No. 4 or 5 in next week’s rankings. A Statistic: Scott Sutton’s team has compiled quite the nice 14-game winning streak, and in those games, ORU is winning by an average of 12.1 points per game. Not barely skating by by any means.. The Schedule: at South Dakota State, Thursday; at North Dakota State, Saturday.

Is this ORU team better than the last two Oakland teams? I would say yes.

I don't know if ORU has the raw star-power that Benson brought but they're so good across the board. Getting Craion back was the icing on the cake. It'd be awfully exciting to see how Hamilton would play with Benson with another year at Oakland under his belt, that's for sure.

Probably a little bit due to ORU's defensive prowess.
