The last time I recapped a game against a Golden Eagles squad I sang the praises of a young team that seemed to have really bought into the defensive philosophy that their coach preaches. This time, against the Oral Roberts version, there were some crucial stretches of the exact opposite.
Early on, the Cowboys got put on their heels by a scorching-hot ORU team from range. After falling behind by as much as four during a cold stretch from the field, they were forced to claw back to a one-point 32-31 advantage at the half following a smooth finish from Cade Cunningham at the buzzer.
