Why Oregon can cover

Having struggled with five losses in a row, Oregon finally turned things around against Northwestern on Tuesday. The Ducks walked away with an 81-75 victory over the Wildcats. Oregon relied on the efforts of Jackson Shelstad, who went 8 for 11 en route to 26 points, and Keeshawn Barthelemy, who posted 19 points plus two steals. 

Shelstad is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production in each of his last four games. Another player making a difference was Nate Bittle, who scored 14 points in addition to seven rebounds and two blocks. The Ducks are also 16-4 in their last 20 games at home on a Sunday.

Why Rutgers can cover

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Rutgers on Wednesday, but the final result did not. The Scarlet Knights took an 84-73 hit to the loss column at the hands of Iowa. The Scarlet Knights have struggled against the Hawkeyes recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had productive performances. One of the most active was Jeremiah Williams, who went 6 for 9 en route to 13 points and six rebounds. Despite losing five of their last seven games, the Scarlet Knights have covered the spread in six of their past nine matchups. See which team to back here.
