When John Beilein unexpectedly bolted for the riches and challenge of the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers there were a lot of worries about the Michigan Wolverines ability to maintain excellence with the College Basketball Odds. Beilein had set a standard while at Ann Arbor as the most successful coach in the modern history of Michigan basketball. Most important of all he did it in what Maize and Blue faithful call “the right way.” Favorite son Juwan Howard of Fab Five infamy was hired to keep things going. So far Howard is converting a log of true believers with a strong start. But on Saturday the Wolverines face a strong challenge from another strong coach and program. Dana Altman’s Oregon Ducks are a March Madness regular.

Oregon Ducks vs. Michigan Wolverines Wagering Odds Analysis
Michigan is something of a name brand, even in basketball with the casual betting public. And their past record under Beilein feeds into that respect with the College Basketball Odds. Oregon is every bit as good if not a better program with its own lineage of historic success but the average gambler is not as familiar with them.
Oregon Ducks Current Form
The Oregon Ducks enter this game with a record of 7-2 both straight up and against the spread with only two of their games going under the total. Oregon has national metrics of 38th for scoring offense and 119th for points allowed. The Ducks are one of the best three-point field goal shooting teams in the land with a ranking of 18th. Oregon has come away with the cash in just one of their last four games.
Michigan Wolverines Current Form
