Oregon vs Michigan College Basketball Betting Preview
Michigan and Oregon are headed in opposite directions in the Big Ten standings.
The Wolverines have won back-to-back games vs. Penn State and Rutgers after getting routed 91-64 at Purdue.
Meanwhile, the Ducks are 1-4 in their last five games and are on a three-game losing streak.
This is a tall task for the reeling Ducks on the road, as Michigan is 10-0 at home during new coach Dusty May's first season at the helm.
Michigan is fourth in the Big Ten and 25th nationally in point differential (+12.0). The 91-64 loss to Purdue is Michigan's lone double-digit defeat this season.
Michigan's offense ranks eighth in field goal percentage (49.8) and 25th in points (82.3) nationally. The Wolverines are third in rebounds (38.2) and defensive field goal percentage (40.4) in the Big Ten.
The big man tandem of Danny Wolf and Vladislav Golden is a major factor for those figures. Golden leads Michigan in points (15.6), field goal percentage (64.0) and also averages six rebounds.
Wolf is the Wolverines' top rebounder (10.0) and is shooting 52.7% overall. Both Golden and Wolf are averaging 1.6 blocks.
The ball movement is also thriving in May's free-flowing offensive system. The Wolverines are ninth nationally in assists (17.9). Guard Tre Donaldson (4.3) is tops for Michigan, followed by Wolf (3.7) and guard Roddy Gayle Jr. (3.0).
Oregon is struggling on both sides of the court. The Ducks are 12th in points scored (76.4) and field goal percentage (46.0) offensively. On defense, Oregon is 10th in points (71.0) in the Big Ten.
Center Nate Bittle is Oregon's top player this season, leading the team in points (12.5), rebounds (7.2) and blocks (1.9). Jackson Shelstad is second on the Ducks in points (12.3) and shoots a team-best 87.8% on free throws.
The Ducks' best chance for a victory is to keep the game within reach down the stretch, as Michigan is 3-4 in one-possession games.
