Sunday college basketball and we will see the Oregon Ducks travel to the Maples Pavilion to take on the Stanford Cardinal. The game has a start time of 7:00 pm (Eastern) and will be televised on Fox Sports 1. Current Vegas betting odds have the Cardinal listed as 6.5 point favorites, while the total is set at 147. 

Analysis:  The Oregon Ducks have won 3 in a row and 7 of their last 8, which includes a home win over Utah last Sunday and an 11 point rod win over California on Thursday night. The Ducks are now in 3rd place in the Pac-12 with an 11-5 record, while overall they are 21-8. Oregon has gone 35-17-3 ATS in their last 55 games following a ATS win, but 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Ducks have been a strong offensive team this year, ranking 22nd in scoring (76.5 ppg), 63rd in shooting (46.3%), 91st in 3 point shooting (36.1%) and 14th in FT shooting (75.4%). The defense for this team has not been very good this year as they come in ranked 282nd in points allowed (70.5 ppg), 109th in defensive FG% (41.5%) and 129th in 3 point defense (33.2%).  

The Stanford Cardinal have won their last 2 games in a row, including a very easy 75-48 home win over Oregon State on Thursday night. The Cardinal is now in 4th place in the Pac-12 with a 9-6 record, while overall they have gone 18-9, including 13-2 at home. Stanford has gone 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, but just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games. The Cardinal have been a very good offensive team this year, as they come in ranked 42nd in scoring (73.6 ppg), 155th in shooting (43.9%), 20th in 3 point shooting (39.6%) and 73rd in FT shooting (71.9%). Defensively the Cardinal has been very average, ranking 157th in points allowed (66.0 ppg), 116th in defensive FG% (41.7%) and 254th in 3 point defense (35.6%).

Pick: Gonna go with the Ducks to keep this one close as they come in a hot team, having won 3 in a row and 8 of their last 9, while Stanford has won just 3 of their last 7 games. The Cardinal gets the edge on defense, but the Oregon offense is playing so much better than the Stanford offense is right now. I look for this one to go down to the wire and would not be surprised to see the outright upset here.
