BYU vs. Oregon

March 20, 2014
img3:10 PM Eastern

You look to back Brigham Young at home and fade them on the road. The Cougars are 19-40 ATS in their last 59 neutral-site games and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 NCAA tournament games. They like to run and gun, but the defense is soft, which is why they struggle away from home. BYU is #8 in the WCC in scoring defense (of 10 teams), #8 at defending the three-pointer and #8 in free throw shooting. Oregon is well coached with Dana Altman and has really come on strong after a 3-8 start to conference play, and are on a 5-1-1 ATS run. Oregon got blindsided by BYU when they met earlier in the year in a wild 100-96 overtime Ducks' win after a furious second-half comeback. They won't get surprised again and the Ducks are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine neutral-site games, plus 19-7-1 ATS in non-conference games. Play Oregon.
