Creighton Opens as Favorites Over Oregon
It looks like Oregon will have its work cut out for them in the second round of March Madness. After a thrilling win over South Carolina on Thursday, Oregon is set to battle Creighton on Saturday.
From the looks of things, Dana Altman’s former team is favored over his current team.
DraftKings opened up with Creighton as a 7-point favorite. Bovada is currently hovering around 5.5-points also in favor of the Bluejays.
Creighton took down Akron in a 77-60 win to open its March Madness play.
The over/under on Bovada is currently set at 147.5 points.
In the days leading up to Oregon’s first-round matchup with South Carolina, there was plenty of buzz surrounding Jermaine Couisnard as the Ducks’ senior guard was tasked with facing his former school.
In his first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament, Couisnard delivered one of the brightest performances of his career and kept Oregon’s thrilling postseason run alive.
Couisnard scored 40 points on 14-of-22 shooting — including 5-of-9 from three — and dished out six assists to lead the No. 11-seeded Ducks to an 87-33 win over the No. 6 Gamecocks in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.
In the process, Couisnard broke Tajuan Porter‘s previous UO record for most points (33) in a single NCAA Tournament game.
