The Ducks have gone under the total in only two of their last nine NCAA Tournament matchups. By contrast Virginia has been a terrible board value in the Big Dance. To illuminate the Cavaliers have covered only three of their last 11 games in March Madness. Three of their last five NCAA Tournament games have gone under the total.
Team vs. Team
Of course, Virginia is having to overcome the humiliation of last year when as the top seed in the tournament they were upset by Baltimore County. Because of this, many gamblers felt that the setback could be in UVA’s head. Subsequently the Cavaliers have shown well so far. Concurrently Oregon has overcome injuries and a lackluster regular season to peak at the right time.
Matchup to Watch
On this occasion Oregon has the betting on college basketball momentum. Additionally, the Ducks have been a much better performer on the March Madness board than Virginia.
