Cal Baptist vs. Oregon Preview - 12-12-2023

The California Baptist Lancers enter this matchup at 6-2 and fresh off an upset win against Southern Utah last time out. Meanwhile, Oregon Ducks, undefeated at home (4-0 with each game covering the spread), are 13 point favorites and come into this contest as underdogs.

Jermaine Couisnard and the Oregon offense are in full stride as they average 80.8 points per game on offense and just 63.3 on defense for opponents, scoring 72 total. Oregon also boasts an effective defensive system as they limit opponents to 63.3 while scoring 72 themselves per contest.

Oregon is far from having its full roster ready when PAC12 play begins in January, having suffered injuries to 6-11 center N'Faly Dante, 7-0 center Nate Bittle and sharpshooting guard Jesse Zarzuela this season. But this team still remains dangerous in open court play - led by perimeter scorer Jalen Daniels' efficient scoring group while Dante and Hunter Goodrick could potentially create high scoring encounters inside.

Cal Baptist has amassed an impressive 6-2 record, yet their defense remains questionable. They allow 63.3 points per game - ranking 28th nationally. While the Lancers play solid defense, their shooting numbers and rebounding have fallen below-average and they've struggled to rebound effectively. While Cal Baptist can score, improvements need to be made if they hope to beat Oregon. Dominique Daniels tops Cal Baptist scoring with 18.0 points and 2.3 assists per game on average; additionally he makes an average of 7 three-pointers per game at 34.1 percentage rate which ranks 7th within WAC conference play - his 180 point averages ranks seventh within WAC conference play!
