Utah Valley @ Oregon

Current Records: Utah Valley 8-4; Oregon 7-5

What to Know

The Oregon Ducks' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Utah Valley Wolverines at 10:30 p.m. ET Dec. 20 at Matthew Knight Arena. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.

The Portland Pilots typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Oregon proved too difficult a challenge. The Ducks blew past the Pilots 78-56. Guard Brennan Rigsby and guard Will Richardson were among the main playmakers for Oregon as the former had 14 points in addition to six boards and the latter posted a double-double on 12 points and 12 dimes.

Meanwhile, Utah Valley made easy work of the Antelope Valley Pioneers this past Friday and carried off an 80-54 victory.

Oregon is the favorite in this one, with an expected 12-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (5-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Oregon is now 7-5 while the Wolverines sit at 8-4. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Ducks enter the game with 5.3 blocked shots per game on average, good for 25th best in college basketball. But Utah Valley is even better: they rank 10th in college basketball when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 5.8 on average. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
