The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles pulled off what might end up being the shock of the NCAA Tournament, upsetting Ohio State in overtime 75-72.
The Golden Eagles’ victory was historic in more than one aspect. Oral Roberts becomes the ninth 15 seed in tournament history to knock off a No. 2 seed in the first round. It wasn’t just any No. 2 seed, either, as the Buckeyes were a popular dark horse Final Four pick for many.
Suddenly thrust into the national spotlight, the Oral Roberts men’s basketball Twitter account had a simple request: it just wants to be verified, please.
It’s true. If this can’t get it verified, nothing will.
Oral Roberts now has a date with Florida in the second round of the tournament. If the tea Golden Eagles can keep the run going, maybe they can emulate a great Twitter account from tournaments past.
