'Wildcats try for 9 straight'
Arizona Wildcats (13-1, 8-6 ATS) have ripped off eight straight including a 94-82 victory as 3.5 point road chalk over Arizona State in its Pac-12 opener. Wildcats lead by Ryan Anderson (15.1), Allonzo Trier (14.1), Gabe York (13.7) are netting 80.0 points/game and sport a smothering defense holding opponents to 63.3 per/contest on 40.7% shooting, 29.1% from outside.
Bruins (9-6, 4-11 ATS) are entereing this matchup off back-2-back losses to Pac-12 rivals Washington and Washington State. Bruins drop 79.9 per/game with Bryce Alford (16.9) leading five players in double digit scoring. On the other side of the court keeping the ball out of their own basket is a work in progress as Bruins are allowing opponents a whopping 76.5 points/game.
Arizona won both meetings last year but failed at the betting window in both games. Going back eleven in the series, Wildcats are a money-burning 2-9 against the betting line. Still, have to like Arizona in this matchup. Bruins are not shooting the ball well hitting just 39.4% in the two conference games and are having trouble keeping the ball out of their basket. Consider laying the -3.0 points, Wildcats respond in today's betting range. They're 6-3 ATS including a cover at Pauley Pavilion.
