Cinderella run continues! No. 15 seed Oral Roberts upsets Florida to advance to NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16

Oral Roberts silenced the narrative that it's a one-upset wonder.

The Golden Eagles knocked off Florida, 81-78, on Sunday in thrilling fashion in the men's NCAA Tournament second round to continue their Cinderella run as a No. 15 seed – just two days after stunningly upsetting No. 2 Ohio State. 

The school that just joined Division I in 2013 is now only the second No. 15 seed (Florida Gulf Coast the other) to make it to the second weekend of March Madness. 

Oral Roberts (18-10) took down the No. 7 seeded Gators by following the same blueprint it used to shock the Buckeyes: fueling off the 1-2 punch of Max Abmas (26 points, seven assists) and Kevin Obanor (28 points, 11 rebounds, four steals).

The Golden Eagles' stars were brilliant in the win, but it was a role player – DeShang Weaver – who drained the decisive three-pointer with 2:10 remaining to give Oral Roberts an 80-78 edge. Obanor's free-throw with 17 seconds helped seal the win.

They have sell-by dates through April 3, 2021 and can be identified by the PLU code 41712. The product was sold by weight in clear plastic containers.

In the products, tree nuts -Pistachio was not listed on the product label due to mislabeling. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts may get serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the affected product.

The recall was initiated following a customer complaint. The company received one report of illness related to the product to date.

All affected product has been removed from store shelves. Customers who purchased the product at Whole Foods Market can bring a valid receipt into the store for a full refund.

In early February, Whole Foods Market called back select bundt cakes and chocolate dipped cookies from stores as they contain undeclared milk.
