Pick

This is going to be an interesting game because UC Irvine defeated Oregon by a score of 69-56 very early in the season. UC Irvine hit 12 three pointers and forced 15 Oregon turnovers in the road win. I think we are going to see another good game, but I like UC Irvine with the points. While Oregon did play well to end the season, three of their last four wins came against the bottom three teams in the conference. Take the Anteaters here.
