The Missouri State Bears (4-6) travel to Mabee Center to take on the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (8-3) in an 8 p.m. ET matchup on Friday. The Golden Eagles are seven-point favorites with the total set at 145.5 points.
Missouri State is back on the road to finish its non-conference away slate against the Golden Eagles. The Bears are hoping to take home their first win at Mabee Center since 2013, although they've won four of the last six meetings in the all-time series. The program ranks No. 2 in the MVC and No. 26 overall in scoring defense, allowing just 60.3 points per game and giving up no more than 68 all season. Missouri State hasn’t gone 10 games to start a season without allowing 70 points since 1985-86. Senior forward Donovan Clay, who is the team’s third-best scorer (8 ppg), sits just 24 points away from reaching 1,000 for his career and has 49 career double-figure scoring performances in 107 games.
