7. Oregon Ducks

There’s something that about the Oregon Ducks that seems to follow every sport they compete in. It’s the offensive showcase that the Ducks like to put on. It’s not just a football thing in Eugene when it comes to the Ducks.

Their basketball time likes to create for big moments as well and they can got hot at any moment. Dillon Brooks is a player that prides himself on being a tournament hero for Oregon. The big shot tends to come from him in late moments and he’s going to be remembered in their program’s history for a long time.

They also have the dynamic Tyler Dorsey. He’s another player that likes to go zero to 60 real fast and take a game over. It’s rare when a program is lucky to have one of those players but the Ducks are lucky enough to have two.

This is a team that wants to validate all of their hard work over recent years with a Final Four appearance. They also have adversity to overcome without Chris Boucher on the floor. When a team is missing a key player, it makes fans root for them more.

They’ll have to play better than they have in the first game as they got arguably the most likable team right now next up on their schedule. The Michigan Wolverines are going to look to outpace the Ducks on offense and it should be quite the battle.
