Oral Roberts Star Max Abmas Breaks Down the Sweet 16

Max Abmas leads Oral Roberts as they prepare for their Sweet 16 matchup against Arkansas

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.”
