The line had moved down from -5 to -4.5 favoring the Ducks overnight and was back up to -5 by late Sunday morning at most books. A few had moved to -5.5.
Eight double-digit seeds have crashed the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32. And there will be at least one in the Sweet 16 as 13th-seeded UC Irvine takes on 12th-seeded Oregon on Sunday night in a second-round South Regional game in San Jose, Calif.
The 13-5 Anteaters trailed Kansas State 51-47 with 9:21 remaining Friday but scored the game's next 12 points to take a lead they would never relinquish en route to their 17th straight win overall.
The Ducks have allowed an average of only 54.2 points per outing during their current nine-game win streak and were right on point against the Badgers, holding them below 30 points in each half and limiting them to 33.3 percent shooting for the game.
Oregon has won six of the eight meetings with UC Irvine with the most recent a 78-63 home victory on Dec. 15, 2015.
