TULSA—Four players scored in double figures as Oral Roberts University cruised to an 86-61 exhibition victory over Upper Iowa, Tuesday at Mabee Center.

Robert Jarvis (Humble, Texas) led the Golden Eagles with 15 points as ORU won the last of its two exhibition games. ORU also defeated Rogers State, 88-76, last Saturday.

Joining Jarvis in double figures were Moses Ehambe (Arlington, Texas) with 14 points; Shawn King (Bequia, St. Vincent) with 13; and Andre Hardy (San Diego, Calif.) with 11. Hardy also grabbed a game-high seven rebounds.

With freshmen Jonathan Dunn (Toledo, Ohio), Kyron Stokes (Arlington, Texas) and Hardy in the starting line-up, ORU raced out to a 19-7 lead with 11:15 to go in the half. The Golden Eagles led 44-26 at halftime, and expanded their lead to as many as 38 points (70-32) in the second half.

A.J. Adkins led Upper Iowa with 18 points, while Matt Lesan added 12 off the bench.

The Golden Eagles shot 50 percent (30-60) from the field, but just 26.1 percent (6-23) from 3-point range. ORU limited Upper Iowa to 45.7 percent shooting, which included an 8-for-16 effort from 3-point range.
