Tonight Harvard puts its six-game winning streak on the line when it meets Oral Roberts, ranked twentieth in the nation, for an 8 p.m. contest in the IAB.
Oral Roberts University, founded a few years ago by evangelist Oral Roberts--a basketball fanatic--joined the major college division of the NCAA just this year, and its basketball team has climbed into the nation's top twenty teams with a 22-1 record.
The Crimson will have to stop Richard Fuqua, the nation's second leading scorer with a 35-point average, and Eddie Woods, ORU's 6-7 sophomore center, if it expects to make any headway against Oral Roberts' high-scoring offense, which leads the nation in scoring with an average...
Friday night Oral Roberts defeated B.U., 87-78, in one of its lowest scoring games in the last two months. In that game Fuqua poured in 29 points, and Woods grabbed 21 rebounds and blocked 12 shots while scoring 19 points.
Harvard's win over Yale, marked at points by the Crimson's effective fast break, indicated that Harvard should be able to challenge Oral Roberts' game.
