Home Court Vital Between ORE, COL

Oregon will have revenge on their mind when they host Colorado Thursday, as the Ducks' lone loss in the past four weeks came by way of the Buffaloes. Home court advantage has been massive in this Pac-12 rivalry as the home team is 5-0 SU and ATS in the past five between Oregon and Colorado.

Shark Bites

Since losing that game to Colorado, Oregon is 4-0 SU and ATS with an average scoring margin of +9.8 points per game.
