The Oregon Ducks emerge as the better pick for this matchup, not just because of their recent performance but due to their ability to dominate and carry momentum. Oregon has showcased the ability to adapt and overcome, a testament to their robust squad and coaching philosophy and quick guards who can score. With an offense averaging 76 points per game and shooting percentages that underscore their efficiency on the court (45.7 from the field and 33.6 from beyond the arc), the Ducks' ability to score from multiple facets of the game stands out. Not as all worries about a small line with an #11 seed as we have an experienced March Madness coach versus a team that has not made the Big Dance since 2017. Ducks a team that struggled when Dante was hurt but with him healthy they also have the best player on the court.

Take Oregon here on Thurday afternoon.
