Oregon Ducks (9-8) vs Arizona Wildcats (15-2)

This is a perfect bounce-back spot for Oregon, a team that is coming off a blowout loss vs. Arizona State and is now facing a 15-2 ranked opponent in Arizona. Oregon has dominated the Wildcats in this series, especially at home where Arizona has not beaten Oregon in Eugene since 2015. Oregon is playing well defensively, but at times teams have been able to make a lot of their low % shots at great rates, just as Arizona State did last time out. Oregon's offensive showing in the 2nd half of that game was promising, and I think the Ducks have the talent and ability to hang with Arizona here. Oregon's defense is already fine, the rebounding numbers are good and while the Ducks have had issues in the turnover department, both forcing TOs on defense and taking care of the ball on offense, Arizona has similar problems and this game sets up to be really even. This game sets up to be an entertaining one and I will take the home team getting points.
