Oral Roberts' win over Ohio State was only the beginning of its NCAA Tournament run.
The Golden Eagles pulled off another upset on Sunday, defeating No. 7 seed Florida 81-78, to become just the second 15 seed ever to make the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Much like in its 75-72 overtime win over the Buckeyes, Oral Roberts was led to victory by the high-scoring duo of Kevin Obanor and Max Abmas. Obanor, who had 30 points against the Buckeyes, scored 28 points against the Gators; Abmas, who scored 29 points against Ohio State, had 26 against Florida.
