TULSA, Okla. (AP) Obi Emegano scored 26 with eight rebounds, and Albert Owens added 15 and eight to help Oral Roberts beat Denver 62-58 Friday night.

Owens hit a jumper and then a layup to put Oral Roberts up four with 19 seconds left.

Nine seconds later, Joe Rosga made two free throws to pull the Pioneers (13-14, 5-9) within two, but Emegano's free throws sealed it.
