Tulsa at Oral Roberts

Tulsa will enter play in the newly formed American Athletic Conference this season. The Golden Hurricanes come armed with four returning starters from last year and should be competitive in the new league. They will also begin a new era under first year head coach Frank Haith. Haith has a strong track record, as his Missouri clubs never won fewer than 23 games. Oral Roberts had a strong run that lasted about seven years through the 2012 season, which included NCAA Toournament appearances, but the Golden Eagles have slipped over the past couple of seasons. They have the look of a .500 type team again this season in a much lesser conference than what Tulsa will go against, or has gone against. I think Coach Haith is going to have his team redy for the opener as he has a strong track record, but more importantly the better team in this matchup. Take Tulsa on the moneyline.
