Oral Roberts Golden Eagles vs. North Dakota State Bison Prediction

I’m on North Dakota State here. I know it’s the conference tournament and a lot of crazy stuff can happen in these one and done tournaments. However, Oral Roberts beating UMKC does nothing for me for their tournament prospects, and North Dakota State’s still one of the elite teams in the Summit as far as I’m concerned. I think the Bison smash Oral Roberts here so give me the Bison.
