[FONT=arial, helvetica][SIZE=-1][h=2]Wayne Root's ELITE 8 GAME OF THE YEAR, PINNACLE (going for 6th straight Pinnacle win), Saturday[/h][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica][SIZE=-1]Pinnacle--Oregon + Watch Oregon's Tyler Dorsey control this game with his three point shots as the Duck's go for the upset against the Kansas Jayhawks. The sophomore guard has scored 20 or more points in six straight games and is setting the tone with timely three's and in your face defense. The Ducks are a very strong three-point shooting team and Kansas is ranked 203rd in the Country when it comes to defending the three, plus they have allowed a combined 18 three-pointers in their last two games. Oregon plays outstanding defense, conceding an average of 65.6 points per game and the 6.5 points they are getting from Kansas represents 10% of the points they allow. That is too much of a percentage to ever pass up. Contrary to Oregon, the Kansas Jayhawks are allowing an average of 71.8 points per game, placing them 169th overall. Oregon is strong enough in both ends of the court to hang with the Jayhawks and they should definitely keep this one very close. Kansas has had their share of playing well in back to back contests. The don't play two game well consecutively. They are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following an ATS win. The Ducks know how to stay in games as they are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog between 0.5 and 6.5 points. The public loves what they last saw on TV as 75% of all bets are on Kansas. Rarely do the Vegas sportsbooks hand out free money just for showing up so this game should be bet close to game time as all the bettors that lose in the first Saturday game will bet Kansas driving the pointspread up ever higher.[/SIZE][/FONT]
