4*
(NCAAB) Oregon vs. USC,
Point Spread: 2.00 | -105.00 Oregon (Away)
Result: Loss
Oregon needs to keep USC confused on defense; they can shoot the rock very well - but they need more penetration to the rim. Sticking J's won't mean anything if the Ducks cannot handle the Trojans shooters as well. Oregon has made it a habit to be erratic, and their frontcourt needs to be more aware and not slow foot it when switching on D. USC can get a bit sloppy, I am not sure if it is the coaching or the players. There, at times, seem to be some basic confusion with their guys, and their covers and that can be inexcusable. They have to do better, they need to knock down shots at the stripe, USC needs to understand it is their poor free throw shooting that can be a huge reason for losing games. Oregon uses their quickness and perimeter shooting to win and advance on Sunday night.
