Oregon vs Washington College Basketball Betting Preview
For important context, this result has zero impact on the Big Ten Tournament seeding. Oregon is locked into the eighth seed, while Washington will miss the league tournament after a brutal season.
So, this game means nothing.
The Ducks could mail it in after winning six straight to close the season, especially on the road with nothing to play for.
Meanwhile, Washington may want to end its season on a high note, so the Huskies could be the more motivated team in this spot.
The Huskies played the Ducks pretty tough in Eugene in mid-January, losing by 11 despite shooting just 4-for-21 (19%) from 3.
Oregon’s post-up defense isn’t great (.93 PPP allowed, 21st percentile, per Synergy), which doesn’t bode well in a matchup with the Huskies, who play almost exclusively through Great Osobor in the post.
That showed in the first matchup, as Washington scored 19 points on 12 post-up sets (1.58 PPP, per Synergy), while Osobor poured in 20 on 6-for-12 shooting from the interior.
Osobor also shot 0-for-4 from deep, so any positive shooting regression for him and the team would help keep the rematch tight.
I don’t have much faith in Washington’s defense. The Huskies run a drop-coverage scheme with terrible dribble defense, and Osobor hasn’t held up at the rim without Franck Kepnang at his side.
As a result, I expect Nate Bittle and Oregon’s bevy of dribble creators to roast the Huskies.
That said, Washington showed it could keep up in the first meeting, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Ducks look sluggish and sloppy with nothing to play for on the road.
I’ll take the points with Washington.
