The country's largest "Charismatic Christian" university was founded by Oral Roberts through ordinance by God. The University has a strict honor code and just recently allowed for their students to wear jeans, sweatshirts, and sneakers on its picturesque campus. Their Golden Eagles were beaten by a buzzer-beating shot by Oakland, Michigan last year despite being the Mid-Continent's #1 seed. They are coached by Eddie Sutton's youngest son Scott. They have played high-profile schools Marquette, USC, Oklahoma, and Missouri State beating only Oklahoma. Six seniors will lead the Golden Eagles to a game effort in the first round but they do not have the talent to compete with a top 2 seed.
