The sixteenth-ranked Oregon Ducks will leave Eugene for the first time in the young college basketball season when they travel to Sin City Friday for a date with the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels in the MGM Grand Showcase at the MGM Grand Arena. The Ducks have compiled a perfect 6-0 SU record at home this year but will not return home again until Dec. 15 against UC Irvine.
The Rebels, who opened as 2-point underdogs, have been a strong play in that position dating back to the 2014-15 campaign. UNLV is a sizzling 8-1 ATS in its last nine games when tabbed as underdogs by oddsmakers.
Defense will undoubtedly be the key for the Ducks in this one. Oregon is 22-0 over the last two seasons when holding opponents to under 70 points, but is just 10-10 when allowing 70 or more. UNLV has eclipsed the 70 point mark in five out of its Sportsbook seven games this season.
