TULSA, Okla. (AP) _ Caleb Green scored 22 points and had 11 rebounds to lead Oral Roberts to a 77-66 victory over IUPUI on Saturday night.

Three players reached double figures for the Golden Eagles (15-7, 7-0 Mid-Continent), who recorded their ninth straight win.

Austin Montgomery led IUPUI (9-11, 3-4) with 16 points and was one of three Jaguars to reach double figures.

Marchello Vealy scored 18 points off the bench for the Golden Eagles while Ken Tutt had 12.

ORU took the lead 4-3 at 17:40 of the first half and never again trailed in a game where the Golden Eagles shot 57.7 percent from the field.

Green, whose 22 points were a game high, recorded his 57th career double-double for Oral Roberts.

ORU's 7-0 Mid-Con start is its best in 10 years in the league and the best by any conference school since Valparaiso started the 2002-03 conference slate with a 6-0 record.

The Golden Eagles' nine game win streak, 136th of coach Scott Sutton's tenure, is the longest since the 1996-1997 squad won nine in a row late in the season.
