Oregon vs Utah Live Free: How to watch Men’s Basketball online Reddit

The Utah Utes haven’t won a matchup against the Oregon Ducks since Dec. 29 of 2017, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Saturday. The Utes and Oregon will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 8:30 p.m. ET at Jon M. Huntsman Center. These two teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

Utah took their contest against the Oregon State Beavers on Thursday by a conclusive 84-59 score. Utah’s success was spearheaded by the efforts of guard Lazar Stefanovic, who shot 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 15 points and eight boards, and guard Both Gach, who dropped a double-double on 11 points and ten dimes. Stefanovic had some trouble finding his footing against the Washington Huskies on Saturday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between Oregon and the Colorado Buffaloes on Thursday was still a pretty decisive one as Oregon wrapped it up with a 66-51 victory on the road. The top scorer for the Ducks was guard Jacob Young (21 points).

The Utes are expected to lose this next one by 3. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn’t have high expectations for them since the squad is 2-4 ATS when expected to lose.

The Utah Utes haven’t won a matchup against the Oregon State Beavers since Jan. 2 of 2020, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Thursday. The Utes and Oregon State will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 9 p.m. ET at Jon M. Huntsman Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Utah was close but no cigar on Saturday as they fell 77-73 to the Washington Huskies. Guard Lazar Stefanovic wasn’t much of a difference maker for Utah; Stefanovic fouled out and turned the ball over five times en route to a 3-for-12, 9-point finish.

Meanwhile, Oregon State was expected to have a tough go of it on Saturday, and that’s exactly how things played out. Things couldn’t have gone much worse for them as they lost 78-56 to the Oregon Ducks. Center Roman Silva put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 17 points along with six boards.

Utah is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.

The Utes are now 8-14 while the Beavers sit at 3-15. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Utah has only been able to knock down 41.30% percent of their shots, which is the 43rd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Oregon State has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46% from the floor on average, which is the 28th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.

The Ducks are a 3-point favorite against the Utes, according to the latest college basketball odds.

The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Ducks as a 3.5-point favorite.
