Oral Roberts vs Missouri State Prediction 

Oral Roberts comes into this contest looking for their third straight win, but they are 0-4 on the road. The Golden Eagles are shooting 43% from the field this year and they have scored 66 points or fewer in two of their last four games. Missouri State has lost three D1 games in a row and they are shooting 45% from the field. The Bears have allowed at least 75 points in all three of those losses, but they are 4-2 at home. I think this is a pretty even matchup, but I am not backing a team shooting 43% from the field on the road. Take Missouri State at home here.
