Why Arizona State Will Win

Arizona State beat Washington State for the second time in the last several days with a good second half for a 64-59 win in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament.

Alonzo Verge went off for 26 points, helping out an offense that couldn’t do a thing from three, but got to the free throw line enough to push past late in the low-scoring battle.

The Sun Devils don’t turn the ball over enough to matter, they’re normally a high-powered scoring team, and the should be able to keep up just enough to make this interesting if the three start to fall, but …

Why Oregon Will Win

Arizona State is way too flaky from the field.

It hasn’t hit the 30% mark from three in five of the last six games, the defense is suspect, and there aren’t enough rebounds to matter. Oregon won the first time around back in mid-February 75-64 by holding down the ASU O, taking a season-high 30 three pointers – making 12 – and holding on when it had to.

The Ducks are on fire with five straight wins and ten of the last 11, making over half of their shot over the last four games and going cray from three.

Teams are hitting 36% from three against the Sun Devils.

What’s Going To Happen

Arizona State will have no problem keeping up for a while, but the Ducks will hit the extra three and come up with the extra burst to pull ahead when they have to.

It’s not going to be easy, for a while – ASU will play like a team battling in its final game of the year – but the Oregon offense will be too strong and too good.

Oregon at Arizona State college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Oregon Ducks at Arizona State Sun Devils betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks.

The Oregon Ducks (20-6, 9-4 Pac-12) visit the Arizona State Sun Devils (17-8, 8-4) in a Thursday, 9 p.m. ET tilt at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe, Ariz. We analyze the Oregon-Arizona State odds and betting lines, with college basketball betting advice and tips around this matchup.

Oregon at Arizona State: Three things you need to know

1. The 16th-ranked (USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll) Ducks have lost two consecutive road games and three of their last five away from home. A team that has averaged 75.7 points per game this season averaged just 58.0 points in the three recent road losses. Meanwhile, Arizona State owns a five-game win streak. Over that stretch, the Sun Devils have been a net plus on the board and on turnovers, while holding foes to a 43.1% accuracy mark from the floor.

2. In the season’s first head-to-head meeting, Oregon hit 12 3-pointers in a 78-69 win at home Jan. 11. The Ducks hit 12 3-pointers in that contest. They rank in the bottom half of DI teams for 3-pointers attempted, but eighth in the nation in accuracy (38.6%). Oregon, which outrebounded ASU 34-25 in that first contest, has been solid and consistent on the boards since the start of conference play.

3. The Ducks had back-to-back road losses (at Stanford, at Oregon State) to start the month of February. They led the Cardinal by 10 at one point in the second half, and led the Beavers by multiple scores through three quarters of game action. The Ducks better be careful and not get caught looking ahead to Saturday’s showdown at No. 21 Arizona.

Prediction

Oregon 70, Arizona State 69

Moneyline (ML)

AVOID. Oregon is -115. while Arizona State is -106. I’m going to PASS and focus on the Over/Under (below).

Against the Spread (ATS)

AVOID. The Ducks (-1, -110) are 6-6 ATS in road/neutral games. The Sun Devils (+1, -110) are 6-6 ATS at home. The road team is 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings between these two Pac-12 foes. Other ATS trends are as even as the road/home splits. This game figures as just about even as well.

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the UNDER 142.5 (-110). Both teams are coming off 80-point games with hot 3-point shooting performances. The Oregon defense is subtly trending in a positive direction, with improved rebounding and more consistency in forcing turnovers. Ducks’ games have finished Under in 3 of the last 4 and Under in 5 of the last 6 on the road. The Under is 12-7 when ASU plays a team over .500.

Oregon at Arizona State odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Oregon Ducks at Arizona State Sun Devils betting odds and lines, with college football analysis, picks and best bets.

The Oregon Ducks (9-1, 7-0 Pac-12 North) and Arizona State Sun Devils (5-5, 2-5 Pac-12 South) meet Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Oregon-Arizona State odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Oregon at Arizona State: Three things you need to know

1. The Ducks look to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive and cannot afford to be tripped up against the Sun Devils, or against Oregon State in the Civil War.

2. Oregon enters 4-1 against the spread in the past five Pac-12 battles, while the Sun Devils are 0-3-1 ATS in the past four league outings.

3. The Ducks rank 14th in the country with 37.8 points per game (PPG), and they’re 10th in the land defensively, yielding just 14.8 PPG.

Prediction

Oregon 34, Arizona State 13

Moneyline (ML)

The moneyline is just not worth the risk. Oregon (-667) is too expensive, and Arizona State (+445) just doesn’t have the consistent offensive attack to stay with the high-octane Ducks.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Oregon to win outright would return a profit of $1.50.

Against the Spread (ATS)

OREGON (-14.5, -105) is the play here, although I’d feel a lot more comfortable buying the line down under two touchdowns or playing this game as part of a large teaser.

Arizona State (+14.5, -115) is just 1-4-1 ATS in the past six at home, and 2-5 ATS in the past seven at home against the Ducks. Oregon is 8-3-1 ATS in the past 12 meetings overall in this series, too.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 52.5 (-110) is the play, going 12-4-1 in Oregon’s last 17 games on the road and 7-1 in its past eight on a grass surface. The Over is 4-1 in Arizona State’s past five overall, but the Under is 5-2 in the past seven following a non-cover in its previous outing.
