Oregon will Win the NCAA Tournament - Reasons Why By Whit Henry

• They aren’t in the top 50 in D1 basketball in any of the following categories: Field goal percentage, scoring offense, turnover margin, three-point percentage, defensive efficiency, rebounds per game, bench points per game, or any of the other 21 stats the NCAA officially tracks, except one. The one that matters, winning percentage. Unexplainable as it may be, Oregon finds a way to win.

  
  

• They have a player named Supreme Cook. Those boys have to be eating well.

  
  

• 7’0 senior Nate Bittle is a force to be reckoned with down low. 

  
  

• They’re unpredictable. They lose games they should win (UCLA, Minnesota), but they also win games they should lose (Wisconsin, Alabama). Even if I weren’t completely sure they would win the title, which I am (coincidentally I’m also 100% confident that every other team I’m writing about will also win it all), I would be scared to bet against Oregon.
