Dominique Morrison, who led the Golden Eagles (8-8, 3-2) with 19 points, sank a 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds remaining to cut the deficit to 66-64.
Oakland's Larry Wright was fouled on the inbound pass and made 1 of 2 free throws. Oral Roberts' Kyron Stokes then missed a 22-foot shot that would have tied the game as time expired.
Johnathon Jones led Oakland, which led 35-33 at halftime, with 16 points.
