Over on the Ducks’ side, they’ve done quite well so far with three straight wins to open the season. Oregon was able to beat UC Riverside 91-76 in their opener. Game two was another win, this time a blowout 79-48 affair against Montana.

Matched up against Portland for Tuesday’s game, the Ducks kept it going—but it was a close one. Oregon came back from a 31-23 halftime deficit to force overtime and eventually won 80-70. Jadrian Tracey was the high man in the win with 19 points and five rebounds. Oregon will take on Oregon State, Texas A&M, San Diego State, and USC after this game.

Troy vs Oregon Prediction

I might try Troy in this one. The Trojans played a nice first half against a great Arkansas team in their last outing but fizzled out after the break. Troy ended up shooting a tepid 38.2 percent from the field with just 15.8 percent from 3-point range and a whopping 24 turnovers. The Trojans did control the glass quite well with a 37-30 advantage there.

As for the Ducks, they were in major trouble against a struggling Portland team in their last game but found a way to come back and win. Oregon shot 40.6 percent from the field and a rough 7-of-31 (22.6 percent) from outside but did notch 45 rebounds and 14 team assists. If Troy can stay strong on the boards Sunday and bag some high-percentage looks, I can see the Trojans covering.
