Why Ohio State can cover
The Buckeyes are entering this matchup coming off a hard-fought 89-88 win over Minnesota on Monday in double-overtime. Devin Royal led Ohio State with 19 points in the victory and Bruce Thornton added 18 points, as five different Buckeyes reached double-figures in the contest.
Thornton is averaging 16.9 points and 4.5 assists per game this season, while Royal is now averaging 14.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. The Buckeyes are top 30 nationally in both field-goal percentage (49.0%) and field-goal percentage defense (39.1%). See which team to pick here.
Why Oregon can cover
Meanwhile, Oregon is coming off an 83-79 win over Maryland on Sunday. Jackson Shelstad led all scorers with 23 points and the Ducks had an efficient night offensively by just about every metric. They shot 51.8% from the floor, 42.9% from the 3-point line, 86.7% from the free-throw line and only turned the ball over eight times.
Dana Altman's squad has reached the 20-win plateau in each of the 14 seasons that he's been at the helm in Eugene and Oregon is well on its way to another 20-win effort in its first season in the Big Ten. However, this kicks off a tough stretch of the schedule where the Ducks play six of their next nine games on the road and this could be a barometer for the rest of their season.
