Oregon Ducks NCAA Basketball Betting
There is no question that Dana Altman is the most successful head coach in the history of Oregon Ducks basketball. Since taking over in 2010, Altman has taken advantage of Nike's resources to build a reliable NCAA Tournament program. Oregon made the Final Four in 2017 and has made three Sweet Sixteens and an Elite Eight under Altman. However, Oregon has tailed off with two NIT appearances before making the Round of 32 in the past four years. More is expected of Oregon, and those expectations as members of the tough Big Ten Conference will have to be addressed in the offseason.

2025 Oregon Ducks Season Recap
Overall, the Oregon Ducks are 25-10 straight up, 14-16-1 against the spread, and 16-15 over/under the total. Oregon has national metrics of 116th for scoring offense, 125th for field goal percentage, 187th for 3-point field goal percentage, 45th for free throw percentage, and 203rd for offensive rebounding. While defensively, Oregon is 149th for scoring defense, 134th for field goal percentage permitted, 74th for 3-point field goal percentage allowed, and 150th for defensive rebounding.
Lately, Oregon has covered seven of its previous ten games and has gone under the total in eight of its last ten outings. Nate Bittle is the first among Oregon scorers with 14.2 points per game.
Caleb Love had 29 points and nine rebounds, and fourth-seeded Arizona advanced to the Sweet 16, surviving a ragged finish to beat former Pac-12 rival Oregon 87-83 on Sunday night in the NCAA Tournament. Tobe Awaka added 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Wildcats, who had never faced the Ducks in the tournament. Arizona also made the Sweet 16 last year, losing to Clemson.
Jackson Shelstad had 25 points for fifth-seeded Oregon, which led by 15 points just over five minutes into the game. TJ Bamba had 17.
Love’s emphatic dunk with 2:37 left put Arizona in front 77-70. Oregon narrowed the gap on Keeshawn Barthelemy’s 3-pointer before Nate Bittle’s hook shot got the Ducks within 80-78 with 49.2 seconds left.
Oregon pressured, and Shelstad's driving layup got the Ducks within 81-80 with 10 seconds left. Anthony Dell'Orso and Shelstad traded free throws, keeping the Ducks within a point. Dell'Orso hit another pair, but Shelstad missed one of his in the waning seconds and the Wildcats held on.
Oregon was hurt by making only 12 of its 22 free-throw attempts.
“We put ourselves in a position to maybe make a comeback," Ducks coach Dana Altman said. “I was talking to the guys, and we’ve played 30-some games and this is the first one this year that we’ve lost on the line.”
After Oregon took an early 19-4 lead, the Wildcats went on a 13-2 run to close the gap to 26-23 midway through the first half. Arizona went ahead 32-31 on Jaden Bradley's layup with 4:45 left in the half and went into the break up 42-38.
After Dell'Orso hit a 3-pointer that made it 54-43, he turned to the Wildcats' fans and yanked at the “Arizona” on the front of his jersey in celebration.
“We’ve really been talking about this, kind of developing - I don’t want to say unemotional, but a real steady approach. Zero-zero score, so what, now what mentality. These executed it to perfection today,” Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said.
The Ducks have advanced to the second round in each of their nine March Madness appearances in 15 years under Altman, but they haven't reached the Sweet 16 since 2021.
Arizona won the national title in 1997 under Lute Olson, defeating defending champion Kentucky with a roster that included Mike Bibby and Jason Terry. The Wildcats were runners-up to Duke in 2001.
Oregon won the championship once, back in 1939. That team was known as the Tall Firs - a nod to the Oregon landscape and the fact that the players loomed taller than most of their opponents.
