Maryland Terrapins vs Oregon Ducks Pick

Maryland vs Oregon Pick

Oregon Ducks Moneyline

Oregon enters this matchup with slightly better offensive efficiency and stronger recent momentum. Maryland has struggled to score consistently throughout the season and has dropped four of their last five games. With Oregon’s stronger ball movement and scoring balance, the Ducks should have the edge in this tournament matchup.

Maryland vs Oregon Total Pick

Take the Under if the total is set at 141

I expect this game to be played at a slower pace. Maryland has struggled offensively all season and tends to be involved in lower scoring games, while Oregon has also had several games where scoring has been limited. Because of that, I lean toward the under in this matchup.

Final Score Prediction: Oregon 71, Maryland 65
