UC Irvine Anteaters vs Oregon Ducks Predictions 3/15/2023

One of the big league “bubble” teams who missed the NCAA tournament cutoff was the Oregon Ducks.

Many anticipated they would be the fourth squad in from the Pac-12, but the powers that be decided to elevate Arizona State above Oregon as that fourth team, putting Oregon on the outside looking in.

They completed 12-8 in the Pac-12 and are currently 19-14.

UCLA defeated the Ducks 75-56 in the Pac-12 semifinals, and the game wasn’t really close. Only two players were in double digits, Will Richardson and Quincy Guerrier, who both tallied 10 points.

Oregon scores 71 points per game on average while allowing 66.7 points per contest. They rank 74th in defensive efficiency and 31st in offense respectively.

They are ranked 41st nationwide according to KenPom. Jermaine Couisnard averages 12.8 points per game, while center N’faly Dante averages 13.4 points and 8.4 rebounds. Richardson scores 12.2 points a game on average.

The total went OVER in 4 of Oregon’s previous 5 outings.
The Ducks are 4-1 SU in their previous 5 contests.

UC Irvine Anteaters vs Oregon Ducks. The NCAAB pick for this game is the UC Irvine Anteaters. This one is a little puzzling because UC Irvine already thrashed Oregon at home this season.

It’s still a 9-point spread even though the line is lower than when it was 15.5 points. That is way excessive. UC Irvine is a superb three-point shooting team and has the size to compete with Dante and Oregon.

Additionally, the Anteaters are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games after three or more straight home matches, while the Ducks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 overall games.

Consider UC Irvine earning the points. The UC Irvine Anteaters will win to a predicted score of 80-68.
