Duke Blue Devils vs Oregon Ducks Point Spread Picks

Perhaps no team has underachieved as much as this Duke team this season. They aren't deep, but the six or seven man rotation they utilize is as talented as any in the field. This is the 15th Sweet 16 for Duke since 1998, and under Coach K, this is a team that can never be counted out. Brandon Ingrahm and Grayson Allen are going to go in the first round of the NBA draft if they choose to leave, and would like to make their mark before leaving. Oregon is a very talented and deep team, but the lack of quality teams at the top of the field this year had them seeded as a number one seed, and in most years that simply would have not been the case. They were placed there based on the strength of the Pac-12 this season, but all the other Pac-12 teams failed to even reach the Sweet 16. The Ducks had just one out-of-conference game vs. a strong opponent in Baylor, and no wins vs. anyone left in the tournament. I think the Ducks get exposed here, so take Duke.
