Oregon vs Stephen F. Austin Prediction

I’m on Oregon here. I simply think the Ducks are just the better team when it comes down to it, and this isn’t the same Stephen F. Austin team that we’ve seen in years past. The turnovers continue to be an issue, but the Lumberjacks are the worst free throw shooting team in the country, which is problematic when you’re an underdog trying to cover on the road or a team trying to win a basketball game in general. I think that Oregon pulls away and wins this one in a rout so give me the Ducks at home.
