Oral Roberts guard Max Abmas isn’t so deep that he isn’t finding a little time to enjoy the fruits of his NCAA tournament labor. To some degree, he can’t help but to feel a certain degree of poetic justice, after being overlooked and undervalued in high school.

Now, the 6-foot-1, 165-pound point guard is averaging 27.5 points a game and sending Power 5 school after Power 5 school home as he prepares for a Sweet 16 matchup with No. 3 Arkansas on Saturday. The No. 15 Golden Eagles fell to the Razorbacks in December 87-76.

“We’ve gotta play a full game,” Abmas said. “We only played half a game. We want to win more games. For the outside people it’s kind of a surprise, but for those guys in the locker room we’ve put in work all season. We go into every game with confidence, and we’ll do the same thing against Arkansas.”
