What to Know
The Oregon Ducks will look to defend their home court on Wednesday against the California Riverside Highlanders at 10 p.m. ET. Oregon is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
The Montana Grizzlies typically have all the answers at home, but on Monday the Ducks proved too difficult a challenge. Oregon was fully in charge, breezing past the Grizzlies 87-47 at home. Oregon got double-digit scores from four players: guard Will Richardson (18), guard De’Vion Harmon (14), center N’Faly Dante (11), and guard Jacob Young (10). Will Richardson’s performance made up for a slower game against the Houston Cougars last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the matchup between California Riverside and the Saint Mary’s Gaels on Monday was not a total blowout, but with California Riverside falling 67-50 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.
The Ducks are the favorite in this one, with an expected 13-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Monday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
Oregon’s win lifted them to 4-3 while California Riverside’s defeat dropped them down to 5-3. In Oregon’s victory, Richardson had 18 points and Jacob Young had ten points along with six rebounds. We’ll see if the Highlanders have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
