Men's Basketball Looks To Clinch Regular Season Title at IPFW

TULSA, Okla.-The Oral Roberts men's basketball team can clinch sole possession of the Summit League regular season championship for the first time since the 2007-08 with a victory on Wednesday at IPFW. The Golden Eagles (23-5, 15-1) and Mastodons (10-15, 4-11) will tip off from Memorial Coliseum at 6 p.m.

Wednesday's game will be broadcast live in the Tulsa area on KYAL-AM 1550. Free audio, will be made available through www.ORUGoldenEagles.com. Video of the game can also be seen through the IPFW All-Access subscription service at www.GoMastodons.com.

A rare Wednesday game on the schedule, ORU can clinch the outright Summit League Championship with a victory, having claimed at least a share of it by beating Western Illinois on Saturday night. ORU is also looking to revenge a regular-season sweep by IPFW last season, having beaten the Mastodons 65-54 in Tulsa earlier this year. ORU leads the all-time series 7-3. Prior to this year's first meeting, the last three games had all been decided by three points.

Since upsetting the North Dakota State at home on January 26, IPFW has lost five in a row. Frank Gaines leads the team with 19.8 points per game, while Trey McCorkle scores 11.6 on average. As a team, they score 69.3 points per game but give up 74.1. Most recently, they got a 30-point performance from Gaines but fell on the road at Oakland, 93-82. The 82 points scored was the most since scoring 86 in the first meeting against the Grizzlies.
