Huge game Monday night. Expect Oral Roberts and Kevi Luper will come into Frost ready to battle to keep any hopes alive for a conference title. The league-leading Jackrabbits are 16-7 for the season, 11-1 in the Summit, the only conference loss courtesy of ORU at the Mabee Center in Tulsa.
ORU, 15-8 overall, 9-3 Summit, is fresh from an 84-75 win at NDSU in which Luper scored 41 points to become the all-time league scoring recordholder. She has 2,120 career points. And she's just a junior. The 41-point effort set a Bison Sports Arena record for most game points by an opponent.
The Jackrabbits are playing well at home and should be favored to avenge the January 7, 71 to 65 loss in Tulsa. In that game, Jordan Pyle led ORU with 17 points. ORU fought back from a double-digit deficit to pull out the win.
ORU has the advantage in the series, 6-5. ORU has won the last three meetings and is trying to win its third-straight regular-season title.
Here's the story on the game on the official ORU website about the game:

Great game. Weather should be good for anyone within a reasonable distance to make the trip to Brookings to see the league's #2 program led by one of the best female players in the country, try to beat #1 at home.
My prediction: our defense puts a lid on Luper again and our bench strength keeps fresh feet in the game, a real advantage over the Golden Eagles far from home. SDSU 78, ORU 68.
