Odds as of December 11th at FanDuel.

Oregon Outlook

Oregon was upset on its home floor by Arizona State while playing without its leading scorer, Eric Williams Jr. The senior forward has a lower leg injury and is questionable for Sunday.

Williams is averaging 11.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists a game. He is also shooting 47.8 on three-point field goal attempts.

Senior guard Will Richardson is the Ducks’ second-leading scorer with an 11.0 average. He is also averaging 3.0 assists a game.

Richardson made just 2 of 14 shots last Sunday and finished with eight points.

Williams, Richardson and senior guard Jacob Young (9.7 points a game), a Rutgers transfer, are combining for 45% of the Ducks’ scoring this season.

Sophomore center Franck Kepnang led Oregon last Sunday with a season-high 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting. His previous best was nine points.

Junior guard De’Vion Harmon had 11 points and three steals. He is a transfer from Oklahoma.

Another junior guard, Rivaldo Soares, also scored 11 points, which was his top output of the season.

Oregon was just 4 of 22 (18.2%) on three-pointers. The Ducks have a 5-0 record this season when they make at least eight trifectas and are 0-4 when they don’t.

Oregon forced 16 turnovers by Arizona State but lost on two big three-point shots.

DJ Horne scored on a catch-and-shoot with five seconds left in regulation to tie the score 60-60 and force overtime. Jay Heath then hit the game-winning trey with 14 seconds remaining in OT.

Stanford Outlook

In line with his status as a five-star recruit, freshman forward Harrison Ingram is emerging as Stanford’s top player. He has averages of 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists.

Strong debut for Harrison Ingram, finishing with 16 PTS (7-11 FG, 1/2 3PT) & 7 REB.

Ingram was off with his shooting against Colorado, making 3 of 13 attempts, and the Cardinal wound up losing by four points. He finished with eight points but did have five assists.

Stanford’s other double-digit scorer, senior forward Jaiden Delaire, had just six points. That was four under his 10.1 average.

Junior forward Spencer Jones led the Cardinals with 15 points in just 16 minutes. He made five of six shots from the floor in his second double-figure scoring game of the season.

Sophomore forward Brandon Angel finished with 13 points to match his season high. Senior forward Lukas Kisunas chipped in with 11 points and a season-best nine rebounds.

Lukas Kisunas utilizes his minutes really well and ranks 3rd in EFF among all of NCAA’s Lithuanians (realistically 2nd because of a much bigger sample size than Jonauskas’).

Stanford lost despite shooting 50.0% (26 of 52) from the field, 41.7% from (10 of 24) from three-point range and 93.3% (14 of 15) from the free throw line.

While the Cardinal were nearly perfect on their foul shots, Colorado’s Keeshawn Barthelemy was 6 for 6 from the line in the final 1:03 to seal the victory.

Oregon vs Stanford Prediction

This is often a marquee West Coast matchup as Oregon was ranked 21 times when it has played Stanford over the previous 26 seasons and the Cardinal was ranked on 16 occasions.

Oregon has beaten Stanford three straight times, including twice last season – 73-56 at home and 71-68 on the road. In the second meeting, Williams scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds for Oregon while Stanford got 15 points from Delaire and 11 from Jones.

Stanford has won all four home games this season by an average margin of 13.5 points. Yet though they haven’t jelled yet and have played only one power conference opponent, the Ducks have more overall talent and will find a way to win their first true road game of the season.
