Premium Pick

Oregon is on an incredible run winning and covering its last 10 games following two blowout victories over Wisconsin and UC Irvine in the first two games of the tournament. Ehab Amin sparked a 15-3 run in the second half and Payton Pritchard scored a team-leading 18 points and Louis King added 16 for the Ducks, who improved to 22-15 ATS this season. Virginia has shown no mercy in the first two games probably because it remembers last year's loss to 16th-seeded UMBC. However, this will be a much tougher test than Gardner-Webb and overrated Oklahoma. Oregon is one of the few teams in the country that can almost match the Cavaliers defensively as the Ducks allow opponents just a .399 shooting percentage compared to .381 for Virginia. Also, the Ducks defend the three-point shot well allowing 29.1 percent from behind the arc. The Ducks have covered seven in a row on neutral courts and six of their last eight non-conference games. Virginia is just 1-5 ATS its last six NCAA Tournament games. Take the points with Oregon.
