Denver Pioneers vs Oral Roberts Golden Eagles

The Denver Pioneers host the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles in a Thursday night NCAA basketball matchup. Denver enters as a strong favorite, with moneyline odds averaging 1.24, reflecting their home court advantage and recent form. The Golden Eagles, at average odds of 3.87, will look to pull off an upset on the road.

This Summit League contest features two teams with contrasting styles. The Pioneers will rely on their disciplined offense to control the tempo, while Oral Roberts often looks to create scoring opportunities through their perimeter play. The sizable odds for a draw, at 12.9, indicate bookmakers see a decisive result as the most likely outcome.

A key factor will be whether Oral Roberts can withstand Denver's early pressure and keep the game competitive into the second half. If the Golden Eagles' shooters get hot, they have the potential to challenge the spread, but overcoming the Pioneers' consistency at home remains a tall order.
