Line: Arizona -17, Total: 120 (check our odds page for (current college basketball point spreads and totals)
This matchup pits two of the nation’s top guards against each other with T.J McConnell and Gary Payton II, two players that can run the offense and score when needed. Arizona is 29th in the nation in scoring per game, (75.7) but only scored 56 the last time these two teams played.
One of Arizona’s best qualities is their field-goal percentage, which ranks seventh in the nation (49.8). On the opposite end, the Beavers are 11th in points allowed per game (56.9).
Arizona’s last four home games have stayed UNDER the total, and the Wildcats are on a 5-1 run to the UNDER overall. Also, five of the last seven meetings between these programs in Arizona have stayed UNDER.
The Linemakers’ lean: The last time these teams played each other, they combined for 114 points, and we expect a similar result. Even with revenge, this is too many points to lay, so we’re looking at the total and going UNDER.
