The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (5-5) visit the Oregon Ducks (9-1) for a Sunday battle in Eugene. Tip-off at Matthew Knight Arena is at 6 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Stephen F. Austin vs. Oregon odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
Stephen F. Austin heads to Eugene off a sloppy game followed by a week off. On Dec. 7, the 2-point-underdog Lumberjacks shot 33.9% from the field and were a minus-6 in turnovers in a 67-48 loss at the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders. SFA has shot under 40% in 4 of its last 5 losses.
Oregon, which is No. 12 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, is getting back to action after its first loss of the season, a 73-71 setback against the UCLA Bruins last Sunday. The Ducks, who were favored by 3 1/2 points in that home game, led late but were felled by a banked triple in the final second.

Stephen F. Austin at Oregon picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon 78, Stephen F. Austin 59
Moneyline
No interest. PASS.
Against the spread
Oregon is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games at home.
Oregon shot 42.9% from beyond the arc in its last game and has converted on 36.9% of its 3s since Nov. 21. The layoff leading into this game doesn’t seem ideal, and this Quad IV game for Oregon is nestled between UCLA and the Stanford Cardinal on the schedule. Will the Ducks be fully engaged in this one?
SFA’s shot selection and shot-making analytics are a bit out of line, and some favoring regression would be a boon for the Lumberjacks offense. Stephen F. Austin has not played a difficult schedule but the opponents it has played have tilted toward more skill on defense. Peg the SFA offense as being slightly undervalued.
BET THE LUMBERJACKS +20.5 (-105).
Over/Under
Not expecting much pace to this matchup, but some point spiral in the areas of put-backs, free throws, and 3s figures to add some value to the Over lean.
Add in some fresh legs on both sides. The OVER 134.5 (-110) is the value side here.
