UCLA vs OREGON PREDICTION PICK

Oregon is 10-2 at home and has played well on both ends of the court as they rank 71st in scoring defense & 71st in FG%. Oregon tends to play well at the end of the year as well and UCLA has 2 of its best players out for the season. The Ducks have a much more talented team and since they have all been back playing together, Oregon has been winning. UCLA won’t be able to match up with Duarte (17 ppg), Figueroa(11 ppg), or Omoruyi(17 ppg). The Ducks have won 8 of its last 10 games and are looking to win the PAC 12. UCLA struggles on the offensive end so the Ducks should be able to keep the Bruins offense in check. The Bookie is taking the Oregon Ducks to cover the spread.
