Prediction: Oregon 74, Minnesota 70

With Jaylen Crocker-Johnson expected to be out again on Tuesday, the Gophers’ uphill battle becomes even tougher on Tuesday night. While Oregon is just 9-16 this season, the Ducks have been playing quality basketball as of late with the return of key center Nathan Bittle. Last time out, the Ducks defeated Penn State 83-72 on Saturday afternoon, snapping a 10-game losing streak. Before that win, the Ducks lost to Indiana 92-74 and narrowly fell to No. 12 Purdue 68-64, both with Bittle back in the lineup.

For the Gophers, Crocker-Johnson’s expected absence makes an already shallow bench even shallower. On Sunday, the Gophers saw four players play 36 or more minutes against the Huskies, and a similar rotation is expected against the Ducks. If the Gophers are going to come out on top in this matchup, they’ll not just need another big game out of star senior forward Cade Tyson but will also need a big game out of at least one of Isaac Asuma, Langston Reynolds, or Bobby Durkin. In a game of two teams that have struggled over the last two months, this one could come down to a game of survival, and with just one true regular left on the bench in Kai Shinholster, the odds are not in favor of Minnesota.
