Oregon Ducks
Oregon currently sits third in the Pac-12 conference standings with a 19-9 overall record. They are led by top players N'Faly Dante, Jermaine Cousinard, and freshman Jackson Shelstad. Despite not being projected for an at-large bid in Bracketology, the Ducks still have a chance to make it to the NCAA Tournament with a strong finish to the season. The team is ranked 61st overall according to KenPom, with solid offensive and defensive efficiency rankings. Although they have faced injuries to key players Nate Bittle and Jessee Zarzuela, the impact on recent rotations has been minimal. Offensively, the Ducks shoot well from the field, free throw line, and three-point range, while defensively, they have room for improvement in limiting opponents' field goal and free throw shooting percentages. Oregon's rebounding and assist-to-turnover ratios are areas where they can continue to excel. K.J. takes it all the way and is up to 21 points! Ducks up 72-65 with 1:35 remaining. #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/Q1IJFPfwoC
