The series will be Saturday-Sunday @1pm in the SCSC with GoYotes live stream available. I'd say it conflicts directly with the SLT, but with no allowed spectators at the SLT, I assume the VB team might have some fans there after all! (WBB plays ORU at 2:45 PM Sat)
I haven't looked into any stats or players, but ORU has been a program that has had past success in this sport despite having the worst facilities in the league. Lately they have been a middle-of-the-pack team.
Right now they are 2-6 in league play, with both wins over a winless WIU. They did take a set from Missouri State in non-con, and all but one of their losses in conference were 5-set matches (including their recent series with Denver), so they might just be better than their record. No reason to under-estimate them.
Massey has us sweeping them, with a 96% probability of winning.

Had to look up game information from the ORU athletic site due to GoYotes.com being slow. Anyone else having issues with it?

Kiyoat beat me to the punch. Here is some information on the ORU Team the Yotes are facing this weeking
Record: 2-8 (Conference: 2-6) A bit deceiving. Many of their losses (including Denver recently were 2-3)
Offense:
Kills ORU: 12.15 USD: 12.65
5'11 Fr Kaia Dunford - 109 6'1 Jr Aixa Vigil - 108 6'1 Fr Jaxie Wakley - 94
Service Aces 5'8 SO Jeslyn Spencer - 10 6'1 Jr Aixa Vigil - 9 5'8 Fr Bryanne Soares - 9
Defense: Blocks Per Set: ORU: 1.73 USD: 2.67
6'1 Fr Jaxie Wakley - 41 6'0 So Sakira LaCour - 25
Digs/Set ORU: 15.9 USD: 16.87
Serve Receive % ORU:.903 USD:.914
Overall Summary: ORU has a first year coach who is playing a ton of younger players. The results seem to show some good potential (many close matches) but the younger players just haven't seem to figure out how to get over the hump just yet. We need to get the fans out to support our team. Volleyball is an energy support that could use our help. Hope to see you there! Go Yotes!!! I hope to hear... "Monster Kill" Many times this weekend!!!

The Yotes won a squeaker today 3-2. Oral Roberts continue to play teams very hard and close but get edged at the end of matches. My opinion only here...The Yotes did not seem to play with much urgency or intensity today, but they did find a way to get to the W and that is truly what matters. I am sure the coaches will be watching game film tonight and make some adjustments for tomorrow's match. Way to find a way to win.

The Yotes were hitting on all cylinders today and swept the Golden Eagles 3-0. After a close first set, the Yotes took total control with scores of 25-11 & 25-13. Great adjustments after a tight match yesterday. Way to go Yotes.
