Oregon State vs San Francisco Prediction 

Oregon State comes into this matchup looking for their fourth straight win and they will be at home for this game. The Beavers are shooting 48.4% from the field this year and they have scored at least 79 points in three straight games. San Francisco has won six of their last seven games and they cannot afford to lose this game if they want to maintain any hope of an at-large bid to the tournament. The Dons are shooting just 45.8% from the field this year, but they have allowed 66 points or fewer in four of their last five games. San Francisco beat Oregon State by a score of 81-70 in their first meeting and I like them to pick up the win here, as their defense will be the difference.
