Oregon State managed to win just one of their first 11 games (Portland State in the opener). After wins over Nicholls and Utah, the Beavers hit another losing streak to Oregon, USC, UCLA and Washington (amid a handful of postponements, that is). 

In the January 20 matchup versus Washington, the Beavers had a 38-36 lead at the break. Oregon State was outscored 46-34 from there in an 82-72 loss. Leading the team in scoring was Dashawn Davis with 17 points and eight assists. 

Over on the Oregon side, their year began on a sketchy 6-6 run. The Ducks ironed things out with wins over Pepperdine, Utah, Oregon State, UCLA, USC and Washington, but lost their last matchup versus Colorado on Tuesday. 

In the game versus the Buffaloes this week, the Ducks blew a five-point halftime lead and were outscored 45-36 in the second half for a disappointing 82-78 defeat. Quincy Guerrier was tops with 22 points and six boards. Will Richardson added 17 points as well. 

The Ducks are 1-4 ATS in their last five at home versus a team with a losing road record and 5-12 ATS in their last 17 as a favorite. The over is 21-8 in Oregon’s last 29 overall. 

Meanwhile, the Beavers are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 road games and 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 Saturday games. The over is 10-4 in Oregon State’s last 14 Saturday games. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with Oregon. In spite of the tepid loss against Colorado on Tuesday, the Ducks have been playing great basketball in some high-pressure matchups lately. The last time these teams met up, Oregon secured a tight 78-76 win at Gill Coliseum on January 10. Oregon State shot a nice 53.4 percent from the field in that one, but the Ducks won the rebounding battle 39-29. Oregon should have all the advantages for a cover here if they can execute.
