Arizona vs Oregon Game Preview
Why Oregon Will Win
It’s been a rough run lately, but the Ducks haven’t been all that bad from the field this season. It’s not going to bomb away from three, but it can work the ball inside, it’s not bad at forcing mistakes, and it’s been decent at guarding the three.
It has to slow things down a wee bit and can’t get into a rebounding battle, but as long as the offense is hitting at least 41% from the field, it’s got a shot.
