Why Oregon can cover
The Ducks have seven players from 2022-23 returning this season, including three starters. One of those is center N'Faly Dante, who led the team with averages of 13.4 points and 8.4 rebounds last campaign. Guard Jermaine Couisnard was second in scoring with 12.8 points per game but may not be available Monday as he is dealing with a concussion, while center Nate Bittle contributed 7.4 points and 5.1 boards.
Oregon is hoping for big things from a number of their transfers this season. Jesse Zarzuela joins the Ducks after averaging 16.3 points with Central Michigan in 2022-23, while fellow guard Kario Oquendo faces a Georgia team for which he poured in 12.7 per contest last campaign. Meanwhile, forward Mahamadou Diawara averaged 4.4 rebounds for Stetson but grabbed 20 in his final game of the season. See who to back here.
