Oregon vs. Seton Hall
Out West there are just two teams left fighting for a spot in the Final Four. The Pac-12’s Oregon who is a four seed and Seton Hall from the Big East is a three seed.
If the Ducks win it will be the second time that Dana Altman led Oregon to the Final Four and the first time in four years. As for Seton Hall, if they win it will be the Pirates first Final Four since they made it to the national title 1989.
As a reminder, we are simulating these games over at What If Sports and are doing just like the NCAA Tournament, one loss and you’re out.
Final Score: No. 4 Oregon, 84, No. 3 Seton Hall 72
Oregon returns to its first Final Four in four years after topping Seton Hall and it was a strong second half that saw the Ducks score 51 in the second half. The 23-4 run is how Oregon pulled away for the win and while the Pirates made a late surgery they were not able to make it close after that run.
Leading the way for Oregon was the trio of Payton Pritchard, Chris Duarte, and Anthony Mathis who combined for 54 points.
