Game 23 • at Northwestern State
Oral Roberts 73
Northwestern State 85
February 7, 2013
Natchitoches, La. (Prather Coliseum)
NATCHITOCHES, La.-With 28 turnovers and an opponent record 21 steals, Oral Roberts had
too much ground to make up and fell 85-73 on the road at Northwestern State on Thursday
night.
The loss drops ORU to 14-9 (9-2, Southland) and into a tie with Northwestern State (15-6,
9-2) for second place. ORU shot nearly 50 percent (27-55) but the 28 turnovers were converted
into 34 points for NSU.
The Golden Eagles had plenty of bright spots, including a career-high 28-point effort from
Shawn Glover. Combined with Damen Bell-Holter’s double-double (23 points, 14 rebounds),
the pair combined for 51 of the team’s 73 points.
Northwestern State continued to throw wave after wave of players at ORU, playing 10
players, four of whom scored in double figures and all of whom scored at least two points.
James Hulbin led the way with 19 points, while Shamir Davis added 14 and DeQuan Hicks and
Gary Roberson each chipped in 12.
“The bottom line, and we talked a lot about it in the pregame, that you can’t turn the ball
over and you have to rebound, and that was about as poor of effort in both of those things as
we’ve have in long, long time,” said Coach Scott Sutton. “28 turnovers is embarrassing, and we
gave up 20 offensive rebounds, they just whipped us on the glass.”
ORU had success early, using a 6-0 run to grab an 8-4 lead three minutes into the game.
Shortly after grabbing what would be the largest ORU lead of the game, the Golden Eagles
had to withstand a number of Northwestern State runs, including an 11-1 run that gave the
Demons a 23-15 advantage.
After a basket from each team, NSU had a 3-pointer fall from Hulbin to give them a 28-17
lead, the largest lead of the first half.
From there ORU started getting turnovers of its own, turning them into easy baskets and
quickly whittled the lead down to four at 32-28 with 4:42 remaining in the first half. The
advantage would finally shrink all the way to two inside a minute to go on Glover’s 16th point
of the half, which gave the halftime margin of 38-36 in favor of the Demons.

Game 24 • at Stephen F. Austin
Oral Roberts 67
Stephen F. Austin 77
February 9, 2013
Nacogdoches, Texas (Johnson Coliseum)
NACOGDOCHES, Texas-Stephen F. Austin out-scored Oral Roberts 15-2 stretching from the
end of the first half and into of the second and the run proved too much to overcome as ORU fell
77-67, Saturday night at Johnson Coliseum.
With 67 points, ORU (14-10, 9-3 Southland) fell just short of breaking SFA’s (20-2, 11-1
Southland) record that now stands at 54 games without allowing 70 points. Only Central Arkansas
(69) has scored more points this season against the nation’s best scoring defense.
Damen Bell-Holter led ORU with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Warren Niles added 19
points, all in the second half. Shawn Glover scored 12 points, all in the first half and played just
39 seconds in the second half before leaving the game with a cut near his eye.
After being held to just nine points in the first meeting, Taylor Smith exploded for 21 points,
while Desmond Haymon added 17, nine points coming from behind the arc. Jacob Parker and
Hal Bateman also got into double figures with 11 points apiece.
ORU shot 40 percent (21-52) for the game and 73 percent from the free throw line, missing
on late opportunities to cut into the lead from the charity stripe.
SFA finished the game just shy of 50 percent (26-53) and hit six 3-pointers.
“It was a tough game,” said Coach Scott Sutton. “In the first half, we had chances. We got off
to a good start but we just weren’t able to hit shots. We let Smith get too deep on the offensive
end. I thought we had a lot of success early with Damen and Shawn and then we got great looks
we just didn’t knock them down. You don’t beat one of the best teams in the conference on the
road, and you don’t beat good basketball teams without making shots.”
The Golden Eagles got exactly the start they wanted, jumping out 10-3 after back-to-back
jumpers by Bell-Holter and Glover. The pair accounted for all 10 points in the early going.
SFA came back and took a 14-13 lead, the first lead for the Jacks since grabbing a 2-0 lead
to start the game. ORU got back in front momentarily before an SFA 7-0 run put the Jacks up
21-15. It was the second lead change in the first six minutes of the game and would be the final
change.
