Prediction:
The Hornets are a bottom feeder team nationally and the only team as good as Oregon they have faced this season they lost by 31 against Gonzaga. Alabama State has one of the worst offenses in the nation and the Ducks have one of the best. Oregon will find points easily and should get enough stops to cover the gigantic spread.
