On paper, a lot goes in favor for Oregon. Location is a big factor, as Oregon should have a larger crowd for this game. The Ducks are also riding a long win streak while Duke has been inconsistent. Neither team has really played an impressive group in the NCAA Tournament thus far. Duke should have the composure advantage thanks to Coach K, but the lack of depth for the Blue Devils could really show up in this game. Duke is just 1-7 against the spread in their last 8 games on a neutral floor and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 against a team with a win percentage of .600 or higher. A lot of that has to do with Duke’s lack of depth. Their legs should get tired late in this game against an athletic Oregon team that can push the pace. Oregon is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 NCAA Tournament games and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 against a winning team. Look for the Ducks to come up with the big win tonight.
