Pac-12 Final: Colorado vs Oregon Odds, Picks, Predictions

· Mar 16 - 3 minutes read

Dana Altman’s Oregon Ducks aim for a surprise NCAA Tournament entry as they face the Colorado Buffaloes in the Pac-12 championship game on Saturday. The Ducks last made an unexpected run to the finals in 2019, culminating in a Pac-12 Tournament championship and a journey to the Sweet 16 as a 12-seed, and they are looking to replicate that success. The question remains: will Oregon ignite another remarkable run, or will the Buffaloes secure the automatic NCAA bid for themselves?

In the betting world, Colorado is slightly favored to halt Oregon’s unexpected surge in the Pac-12 tournament. BetUS Sportsbook lists the Buffaloes as -2.5 point favorites on the College basketball point spread. The game’s over-under is set at a relatively high 140.5.

Colorado vs Oregon Picks: Under 140.5 & Colorado -2.5 (-110)

In this matchup, Colorado is expected to recover offensively. However, the Buffs are playing their third game in as many days. Traditionally playing at a slower pace, Oregon is likely to continue that trend. Given the slower tempo and Oregon’s anticipated drop in offensive performance from their last game, betting on the Under seems sensible based on the NCAA basketball odds today.

Oregon has managed three consecutive victories, albeit with less-than-stellar performances, failing to surpass 70 points against Utah, UCLA, and Arizona. With injuries plaguing the team, the Ducks have relied on unconventional strategies to advance. However, they face a tough challenge against a Colorado team on an eight-game winning streak.

The Buffaloes recently demonstrated their defensive prowess by limiting a high-scoring Washington State team to 52 points, only the second time this season the Cougars scored below 60. The return of Cody Williams to the Colorado lineup, despite his struggles on the court, has significantly lifted team morale.

Given Colorado’s current momentum, it is favored to continue its success and claim the conference tournament championship and a win against the NCAA basketball spread. A wager I quite like.
