Golden Eagles Return Home To Take On Tabor Before Thanksgiving

Coming off a four-game road swing that included a championship in the Men Against Breast Cancer Classic, the Oral Roberts University men's basketball team will return home for a pair of games surrounding Thanksgiving, beginning with a contest against Tabor Wednesday evening, November 25.  

Wednesday's game will tip off from the Mabee Center at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast exclusively through the ORU Sports Network and ORUAthletics.com, and is also available on the ORU Front Row App. Geoff Haxton's radio call of the game can be heard at 97.1 FM in the Tulsa area and around the world for free through the ORU website.
