Ducks Hoping to End Tough Season on Positive Note
The Oregon Ducks enter this matchup with an 11-19 overall record and a 4-15 record in Big Ten play this season. Oregon has struggled for much of the year but has managed to pick up a few wins along the way. The Ducks recently lost to Illinois 80-54 and recently lost to Northwestern 63-62. They also recently won over Wisconsin 85-71 and won over USC 71-70, while another recent loss came against Minnesota 61-44.
Offensively, Oregon averages 70.7 points per game while allowing 73.9 points per game defensively. The Ducks shoot 42% from the field and average 34.8 rebounds per game while distributing 14.1 assists per contest.
One area where Oregon has shown flashes is on the defensive side of the ball. The Ducks average 4.1 blocks and 6.0 steals per game, which has helped them create turnovers and scoring opportunities. However, inconsistent shooting and offensive production have made it difficult for them to maintain momentum throughout the season.
Huskies vs Ducks Pick
Washington Huskies vs Oregon Ducks Pick
- Washington Huskies
Washington appears to have the edge entering this matchup. The Huskies have been more consistent offensively and recently showed they can score efficiently with their win over USC. Oregon has struggled to find offensive rhythm throughout the season, and Washington’s rebounding and scoring ability should help them control this matchup.
Washington Huskies vs Oregon Ducks Total Pick
- Over
I like the over in this matchup because both teams have shown they can get into higher-scoring games at times. Washington averages nearly 77 points per game and Oregon has been involved in several games where defensive breakdowns led to higher totals. With both teams capable of pushing the tempo, I expect this game to reach the over.
Final Score Prediction: Washington Huskies 78, Oregon Ducks 72
