Washington State at Oregon

Oregon loves to run, but Washington State won't play that game, preferring to slow it down and control the pace. Washington State is fourth in the Pac 12 in points allowed, good enough at defending the three-pointer while shooting beyond the arc fairly well (36.6%, fifth in the conference). They allowed 41% shooting at Oregon State the last game, and three games ago took Cal to OT. Oregon has been overvalued by oddsmakers since a red-hot start, and this team has slipped badly since because of a lack of defense, losing eight of the last 12. The Ducks are 8-19-2 ATS against the Pac 12, on a 4-10-1 ATS run, and 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games. Play Washington State.
