Who’s Playing
No. 1 Baylor @ Oregon
Current Records: Baylor 9-0; Oregon 6-5
What to Know
The Oregon Ducks will play host again and welcome the #1 Baylor Bears to Matthew Knight Arena, where tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET this past Saturday. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
Oregon made easy work of the Portland Pilots this past Wednesday and carried off a 96-71 win. Among those leading the charge for the Ducks was center N’Faly Dante, who had 20 points along with nine boards.
Meanwhile, Baylor took their matchup against the Villanova Wildcats last week by a conclusive 57-36 score. Baylor’s guard James Akinjo filled up the stat sheet, picking up 16 points and five assists in addition to seven rebounds.
Oregon is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread this past Wednesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
Their wins bumped Oregon to 6-5 and the Bears to 9-0. With both the Ducks and Baylor swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
