Oregon Ducks Betting Preview

The Ducks started strong this year with a string of pretty high-scoring and sizable victories. Those wins came courtesy of UC Riverside Montana, Portland, and Troy. Game five was a tight one though, as Oregon barely escaped Oregon State 78-75.

In the Texas A&M game on Tuesday, the Ducks were down 32-29 by the break. Oregon hit a 51-38 run from there, however, surging to a nice win 80-70. TJ Bamba put up a team-high 18 points while Jackson Shelstad and Brandon Angel each notched 16 points.

San Diego State Aztecs Betting Preview

Over on the Aztecs’ side, they haven’t been super busy so far this year with only four games in the bag. San Diego State eked past UC San Diego in their opener 63-58, then blew out Occidental 100-49 before a loss to Gonzaga 80-67 on November 18.

Matched up against Creighton in their Tuesday game, the Aztecs were up by four at halftime. San Diego State kept the Jays down with a 39-25 run from there and took the upset win 71-53. BJ Davis led the team with 18 points and nine rebounds.

Why the San Diego State Aztecs will win

• San Diego State has won each of its last eight Wednesday games.

Why the Oregon Ducks will win

Oregon vs San Diego State Prediction

I’ll probably lean toward San Diego State. The Aztecs were the second consecutive team to deal Creighton a humbling loss Tuesday, shooting a cool 48.4 percent from the floor with 40 rebounds and just eight turnovers along the way. It was a nice bounce-back effort for San Diego State after the 13-point loss to Gonzaga (which featured just 37.7 percent shooting from the floor), and the top-shelf experience will serve the Aztecs well.

As for Oregon, they pulled off a nice win on Tuesday, utilizing a second-half surge to get it done. The Ducks got to the line 31 times (making 23) and shot 46.3 percent from the field, which helped offset a 47-41 rebounding deficit (24-14 offensive). Oregon is cooking on offense this year, with 78 or more points in every outing. High-scoring teams have been able to follow along though, as evidenced by the Ducks giving up 70 or more points in four of six. San Diego State is certainly capable of hanging around on the scoreboard.
