St. Thomas-Minnesota vs Oral Roberts Prediction
Oral Roberts has lost nine of its last 10 games and continues to get drilled defensively. Oral Roberts is also 8-14 ATS on the season, so it’s not covering numbers either. St. Thomas-Minnesota beat Oral Roberts by 15 points a few weeks ago and is 3-0 SU and ATS in the last three games overall against the Golden Eagles. St. Thomas-Minnesota is a legit contender in the Summit that’s top-five in offensive field goal percentage, scoring, and offensive three-point percentage. An Oral Roberts squad that’s pretty much given up on the season likely has nothing for an explosive St. Thomas-Minnesota side. I’ll lay the points with the road team.
