Duke vs. Oral Roberts Predictions
What if I told you Oral Roberts “Cinderella Story” has a sequel? Finishing their season 30-4 on the year, Oral Roberts is set to make some more noise in the NCAA Tournament. However, this time around, I don’t think it’ll be a shock to some that know the history of this monumental team.
Both Duke and Oral Roberts come into this game as two of the hottest teams in the Nation. Duke fresh off winning the ACC tournament and Oral Roberts fresh off the Summit League title. Oral Roberts finished 18-0 in conference play and with the three-point shooting this team possesses, they have the ability to knock off anyone in the country.
I’m looking to attack the over here in this matchup. Duke is one of the best team’s Oral Roberts is facing off against this season, and I think both teams will have no issues scoring in this matchup. Both Oral Roberts and Duke’s offenses present major problems for their opposing defenses. With Oral Roberts coming in as one of the best three-point shooting teams in the nation and Duke clicking at the perfect time, I expect this to be a track meet and fly over the total set of 144.5.
The Pick: Over 144.5 total points | -110 at DraftKings Sportsbook
