The ORU video broadcast is very strange. No true play by play of the live action, just someone announcing individual fouls, and subsitutions, scores, etc as they occur. Don't think I ever heard the score mentioned once, no graphics on the screen. You would think a school with that much money could do better than this.

Then, during breaks, they give a live mike to the cheerleaders to ring in whatever they feel like saying, cheeering, singing.

ORU gets the W 71-60. Just hard to follow the game with the way they broadcast it.

Oral Roberts did have the score and clock on display at the top of the screen if you did not use the "full screen" option.

Western was out-scored 40-24 in the second half.

Olivia Kaufmann led the Western scoring with 20 points. Evan Zars had 13 points and 11 rebounds. Carla Flores had 12 points. Danni Nichols had 10.

Olivia Kaufmann played all 40 minutes.

Western only had 1 Bench Point as Sam Pryor and Elizabeth Lutz were held scoreless.

Attendance at Oral Roberts = 1,114.

Next game will be at Denver on Saturday (Feb 29). This will be the last game of the regular season. Game time is 4:30 PM.

Oral Roberts dominates fourth quarter to rally past Western Illinois 71-60.
