Miami Ohio at Oregon

Miami,O. is not supposed to be here, but their win over Akron puts them on the big stage. Oregon put the icing on the cake of a good season by winning the Pac-10 conference tourney. This is not a good draw for Oregon however. Oregon loves to push the ball up and down the court, and is often frustrated by teams that like to play methodically. They will meet the master's of just that in Miami,O. It is hard to give this team a lot of points, because they shorten games every single time. They have been a dog of 6.5+ only 5 times with 4 covers in those games. Oregon in their last 9 games where they failed to reach 70 points is just 2-7 ATS. That spells bad news for the Ducks. Miami,O. has allowed not a single team to get to 70 the entire season! They shoot 46% so they are not a bad team offensively, they just play 40 minutes of half-court basketball. They pride themselves at the defensive end as well, holding opponents to 40.6% shooting, and 32% from 3. Too many points in a game that will frustrate Oregon.
