Arizona owns the nation’s longest home winning streak at 49 games, but a talented and fearless Oregon team is in town. The Oregon Ducks won 59-57 in Tucson in 2012 and dropped a 67-65 decision here in 2014. The Arizona Wildcats remain shorthanded without freshman guard Allonzo Trier (14.8 points per game) dealing with a broken hand and junior forward Elliott Pitts, who has missed nearly seven weeks due to personal reasons. Arizona has a big frontcourt but so does Oregon. Oregon is 12-2 when outrebounding its opponent and the Ducks boast one of the top frontlines in the country in Elgin Cook, Dillon Brooks (16.2 ppg), Jordan Bell and 6-foot-10 Chris Boucher (12.3 points, 7.9 rebounds per game), who has 65 blocked shots. Brooks had 25 points and seven rebounds in last Saturday’s 86-72 win over UCLA. The Ducks are 45-21-3 ATS following a spread win and are more than capable of pulling the upset, so grab the big dog to win the game. Take Oregon on the moneyline.
