ESPN basketball analyst Bill Walton joined ESPN's First Take to talk about the Golden State Warriors, his son Luke Walton, and also the NCAA Tournament.
Walton was asked who he believes will win the national championship, and Walton went with a team he's most familiar with.
"I am going with Oregon. I love the way they play," Walton said.
Walton praised Dana Altman's coaching ability and said the Duck head coach has a good roster in place to win it all.
"He's got Elgin Cook and Dillon Brooks as his wing guy who can really fill it up," said Walton. "He's got Tyler Dorsey a young freshman from Los Angeles, he's a good player."
Walton said there's no reason to worry about Oregon's depth issues because all the great NBA teams used just seven guys to win NBA titles.
"Oregon is going to take them [Duke] because they have big guys, they have little guys...They play ball. They are fun. At the end of the day, offense wins championships...they can fill it up."
Walton ended his debate for Oregon with Oregon's two best players, Elgin Cook, and Dillon Brooks, being the main reason he likes Oregon to go all the way.
