In this article, we will formulate an Oregon vs Troy Prediction for this college basketball game on Sunday, November 17th, at the Matthew Knight Arena.
Strong Offensive Start for Oregon
It has been a strong offensive start for Oregon, and they have won each of their first three games off the season. Two games ago against Montana, Oregon was able to secure a 79-48 victory, and in the last game against Portland, they were able to secure an 80-70 victory. It took overtime in the last game but the defense gave up only three points in the extra time and that was the difference. Oregon shot only 22.6 percent from deep and that is going to need to be better here. Jadrian Tracey had a strong game, putting up 19 points, five rebounds, and two assists. There were five different players that put up at least 10 points. Oregon will take on Oregon State, Texas A&M, San Diego State, and USC after this game.
Why Oregon Will Beat Troy

Can Troy be Competitive?
In the first couple of games, Troy was able to play pretty well and they picked up wins. Two games ago against New Orleans, Troy scored 78 points and that was enough for the 17-point victory. In the first half, they scored 43 points and that was enough for the win. In the last game against Arkansas though the offense only scored 49 points and that led to the 16-point defeat. At halftime, they were leading but in the second half the offense wasn’t good enough and that led to the loss. Jackson Fields did have a strong offensive game for Troy, putting up 13 points and six rebounds.
Oregon vs Troy Prediction
Troy is going to get blown out in this game. Oregon only shot 22.6 percent from deep in the last game, but they are going to give up even more than that here. I trust this Oregon offense, where I am not exactly sold on Troy’s offense and that is going to be the difference here as Oregon is going to find success. I wouldn’t be shocked if Oreegon goes over 95 points here. Back Oregon to win this game and cover the spread.
