Next up is the second game against a team from the Cancun Challenge. The Badgers will take on Oral Roberts on November 23rd at 7:30 p.m.
School: Oral Roberts Golden Eagles
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Conference: Southland
Undergrad Enrollment: 2,728
2012-13 record: (20-15, 13-5 Southland)
Top returning players: Shawn Glover, who averaged 14.4 points a game as a 6’7 forward, is preseason first team all-Southland. Korey Billbury also returns after averaging six points a game as a guard last year. He was second on the team in assists as well.
Who’d win in a mascot fight?: Well, I like the badgers chances against this eagle from Oral Roberts. (Don’t worry, he was okay).
One interesting major: It’s a religious school, so, Biblical Literature it is.
One fact to help you win your local trivia night: Oral Roberts himself was a Pentecostal pastor who founded the university in 1963.
Prediction: Wisconsin should win this one without too much angst, but Oral Roberts is no pushover. They are always in the picture as one of the better mid-major teams, and I don’t see why this year would be any different.
