Battle Tested Ducks
The Oregon Ducks have been battle tested during the month of March. They have played both Colorado and Arizona twice this month. Both the Buffaloes and Wildcats have reached the round of 32 as well. After losing to both in regular season play; they beat them on back to back days to win the Pac-12 title.

What a Thriller in Pittsburgh
What a game we expect this to be. Two really good, really quick, and talented teams. The total for this game is at 146.5, so we are looking at around a 76-70 type game. The Creighton Blue Jays are a team that can really shoot the basketball. Oregon is on fire right now, and always has athletes to move the ball up and down the court. We think Creighton is going to move on to the Sweet 16, but in a really close game. When we make our bet, we are going to bet the Oregon Ducks +5.5 over the Creighton Blue Jays.
