Gameday Pick 'em #3: Oral Roberts (1-1)

The Picks
The Golden Eagles are the second “golden” opponent of the week for Dana Altman’s Jays. Their play this season, much like that of the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions, has left much to be desired by head coach Scott Sutton. You might remember that name; he’s the son of former CU coach Eddie Sutton. Oral Roberts lost to in-city rival Tulsa in their season opener, 50-43, and then beat someone named John Brown in their last game.
But this is the return game from last year’s ESPN BracketBusters thriller, and CU is 2-3 in these return games. Last year’s game was special. Kevin “The Prophet” Sarver and CU fans across the country knew who Altman would try to get the ball to for the last shot with the Jays trailing by 2 points with 35 seconds left. Coach called for a high screen for Booker Woodfox and he drained a 3-pointer that gave the Jays their final margin for the win.
The last 3 of Woodfox’s 15 points sealed the deal for the Jays
The Golden Eagles are coming off a trip to the NCAA tournament and return dynamic scorer Robert Jarvis and Marcus Lewis, their only returning starter. Sutton’s team is young, and Sutton himself hasn’t had much success with Oral Roberts in non-conference road games. This one points in favor of the Jays.
Enough of this nonsense. To the picks!
(Dance Cam Guy, Panon, and I will pick ‘em each and every game on this site. We’ll keep track of the winner each game, and at the end of the year you’ll be able to find one of us three buying a round or two of expensive Scottrade Center brews at Arch Madness.)
Leading Scorer
Creighton Otter: Cavel Witter (13)
Dance Cam Guy: Booker Woodfox (18)
Panon: Justin Carter (14)
Mrs. Creighton Otter: Kenny Lawson (15)
Margin
Creighton Otter: Jays win by 5
Dance Cam Guy: Jays win by 16
Panon: Jays win by 15
Mrs. Creighton Otter: Jays win by 6
Note: Dance Cam Baby’s correct pick of Cavel Witter leading the Jays in scoring last game was negated because of her lack of verbal expression. The judges ruled that since she made incoherent baby babble instead of stating “Cavel,” the pick was disallowed. She is currently appealing the ruling.

This is a bunch of bulldonky. Just because I can't speak doesn't mean I can't pick. Children are the future and Bluejays are for the babies.
