Oregon solid but nothing special, think (Illinois, Minnesota, UNC) but absolutely peaking right now. Cannot play better ball than they have been.

St. Louis your prototypical elite mid-major, just does all the right things, has some shooters, some scorers, just all around strong.

Both play to max potential its a close game, but I would be surprised to see Oregon bring it again, would be on par with UCONN's run to the title if Oregon keeps winning.

St. Louis ML for me.

Saint Louis is a fluid team, they seem to adapt to their surroundings / opponent. They can get out rebounded but generally don't turn the ball over at all. SLU takes high percentage shots all the time and they are very good at getting to the line. They seem to keep opponents shooting % down. SLU is still playing for their deceased coach, who was controversially emotional.

Oregon generally out rebounds their opponents, and they fluctuate on turnovers. Oregon isn't quite as strong on the road, and they don't get to the FT line often. The ducks struggle on FG & 3pt shooting at times.

IMO the bilikens will control this game. I got SLU ML as the 2nd leg of a parlay with MSU ML. Goodluck making a decision.

I'm just hoping for a decent, watchable game at this point. Nothing but blowouts so far

St. Louis better team

You need to question why a #12 seed is only a +4 dog in a 2nd round game. All signs indicate to an Oregon win.

B/c they never had any business being a 12 seed in the first place. Vegas made the line, but they weren't the idiots who made them a 12 seed

If you are looking at seeds you are doing it wrong.

Exactly, should be the first good game of the day and too tough for me to call but considered an MSU-Oregon tease just didn't pull the trigger.

Like I said in an earlier post, Ducks ML

Mj19840 · 03-23-13, 08:25 PM

How Oregon was a #12 seed and Villanova was a #9 seed is beyond me.
