The winner is South Region champion and goes to the Final Four. This match hit the betting board with the Oregon Ducks -1 on the point spread line with the total line at 149.
</p>
<p>No. 1 Oregon pulled off their most impressive win of the tournament, defeating defending champion Duke 82-68 entering as 3-point chalk. The Ducks managed to hit 43.5% of all three-pointers from downtown while holding Duke to just 31.5%. This is extraordinarily impactful considering the Ducks' woes all season long in this capacity and the potency of Duke's offense. The Ducks score 79.0 points per game.
</p>
<p>The Ducks once again will be tested. Oregon is going up against a basketball team that makes a living off the three-ball and simply likes to outscore opponents. The Oklahoma Sooners score 80.5 points per game and foster a second-ranked 42.6% three-point field goal percentage from behind the arc. This is a scary notion for Oregon still remains among the worst in defending the three-ball in America, as opponents are still hitting 35.6% of their shots. Oklahoma also enters on an impressive note, defeating Texas A&M 77-63 in their Sweet 16 collision.

Oklahoma Sooners vs. Oregon Ducks Pick
Given Oregon's troubles against the three, this match-up can be a frightening prospect for the Quack Attack. Buddy Hield, Oklahoma's best player has been unstoppable this tournament. Hield has single-handedly dominated games for OU and landed several critical threes from three-point range. In his three tournament appearances, Hield has scored 27, 36 and 17, he is also a 45.8% three-point shooter and Oregon may not have the tools to curtail this superstar. Reaction also plays a keep role in this match-up. Oregon put the wood to a defending champion and simply outplayed them. Oklahoma has been skating by against marginal competition for the most part and have had to resort theatrics to pull away in the late stages of their tournament fixtures. Oklahoma also laid waste to a team that many thought was a fluke to be where they were (Texas A&M), so expectations were different. Nevertheless, this is the perfect sell-high scenario for Oregon coming in off a big win.
