In the Oregon Ducks 87–75 victory over the Oregon State Beavers five days ago, Oregon center Nate Bittle recorded 24 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist in only 31 minutes of play.

Defensively, Oregon has been solid, holding opponents under 70 points in three of the team’s four games played this season. The Ducks rely heavily on Bittle’s interior presence and Shelstad’s playmaking, but their rotation depth will be tested against Auburn’s athleticism.

Auburn Tigers vs. Oregon Ducks Prediction

This matchup features two teams with contrasting strengths. Auburn’s explosive offense versus Oregon’s balanced defense. Auburn will look to push tempo and dominate the paint with Hall and Murphy, while Oregon will rely on Bittle and Shelstad to control half‑court possessions.

In my view, Auburn’s superior scoring depth and athleticism will be too much for the Ducks to handle tomorrow night. Oregon has been impressive, but Auburn’s offensive firepower and rebounding edge should prove decisive in Las Vegas. I am backing the Auburn Tigers to cover the 4.5 points in this contest.
