Oral Roberts did not look, and certainly didn’t play like, a No. 15 seed.
Leading No. 3 seed Arkansas by seven at the half, the Golden Eagles were outrebounded by 12 in the second half and made 2 of 14 threes to find themselves tied at 70-70 with 31 seconds to play.
Jalen Tate ran the clock down to nine seconds when the Razorback burst into their offense. Tate looked at Moses Moody, who was covered. He then made a perfect pass to Davonte “Devo” Davis, who was double-teamed.
Davis made a hard step to his left and lofted an 8-foot jumper with three seconds to play that was all net, and a three-pointer by ORU banged off the rim to send the Razorbacks on their way to the Elite Eight with a 72-70 win.
