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.
Since losing that game to Colorado, Oregon is 4-0 SU and ATS with an average scoring margin of +9.8 points per game. Dillon Brooks has been his usual dominant self in that four game span (20.1 points), but senior Chris Boucher’s paint presence has been a big factor. The Canadian has averaged 17.5 points and 8.5 rebounds with two double-doubles in the past four games and is coming off his best offensive performance of the season.
The Buffaloes defense has been a big part of their current three-game winning streak as they have held opponents to 69 points per game. Colorado’s depth was showcased when they beat Oregon in their last meeting as five players scored double-digits with the bench chipping in 42 percent of the offense. Sophomore George King has tallied 20 points or more on five occasions this season including two of the past three games.
