COLLEGE BASKETBALL PREDICTIONS
Oregon has won three straight meetings with Oregon State, covering the spread in the last two meetings as well. The Ducks have been playing pretty well in recent weeks despite a setback at home against Utah. The Ducks have the better offense and a comparable defense. While Oregon has struggled to score on the road in previous games, I don’t think Oregon State will have enough to stop them. The public betting is backing Oregon tonight and I am with the Ducks as well.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL PREDICTIONS: OREGON -2.5
