Oregon Ducks vs Maryland Terrapins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/02/26

Oregon enters this Big Ten matchup with a 7-6 overall record and sits 0-2 in league play, coming off a bounce-back win over Omaha in which Nate Bittle scored 26 points with 9 rebounds while the Ducks knocked down a season high 12 three-pointers. The Ducks have shown they can score in bunches and move the ball effectively, recording 21 assists while limiting turnovers in that game, but consistency has been an issue, particularly in road contests and when perimeter shots aren’t falling. Defensively, The Ducks struggle against teams that can attack off the dribble, which could be a challenge against Maryland’s more balanced offensive attack. Their ability to dictate pace has also been limited, leaving them vulnerable in close, half-court battles.

Maryland comes into this contest on a high note after a 73-58 win over Old Dominion, hitting 10 three-pointers and moving the ball well with 12 assists — led by Isaiah Watts’ 17 points. The Terps have shown improved offensive balance and defensive discipline, capable of executing in half court sets and building scoring runs without allowing Oregon to control the tempo. While Oregon held off Maryland 83-79 last season in a tightly contested game, the Terps’ current form and efficiency suggest they can keep this one close. With Oregon still inconsistent on the road and Maryland trending upward on both ends, this game projects to remain competitive throughout, making Maryland +2.5 a strong lean.
