After a shocking upset of Ohio State of Friday, Oral Roberts University it not ready to go home just quite yet as they knock off the 7th-seeded Florida Gators in the Round of 32 tonight. They become just the SECOND 15-seed ever to make the Sweet 16.
Battling back from being down eleven points with about nine minutes left in the game the Golden Eagles stormed back to take the lead with 2:10 left and held on for the victory from there.
In the last two minutes, Oral Roberts clamped down the defense, as Florida didn't score another basket after Noah Locke hit a jumper with 2:30 left in the game.
