Duke vs Oral Roberts Prediction | March Madness Expert Picks
Both teams have to feel as if they were cheated with their seeds. Both teams deserved better and a very good team will be going home in the very first round. Led by Max Abmas, Oral Roberts can score at will and also has their own big man in 7’5″ senior center Connor Vanover.
Vanover will have his hands full with Duke’s Kyle Filipowski. The Blue Devils have won nine straight games, including their last two against ranked teams in the ACC tournament. If they can continue to stay hot they could run a gauntlet on the East region.
Oral Roberts blitzed North Dakota State, 92-58, in the Summit League Championship but has had a full nine days off. If their offense stalls for even a second, Duke may be able to jump out to an insurmountable lead. For as good as Abmas is, don’t expect him to be able to beat Duke single-handedly. Pick Duke to cover the spread.
Our college basketball betting Duke vs Oral Roberts prediction tonight will be Duke covers the spread at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Duke a 79.8% chance to win.
