Betting on the Arizona Wildcats (6-1, 0-0 Pac-12)
The Arizona Wildcats are about to face their first ranked opponent of the season and are not looking like the expected powerhouse just yet. The team won it’s last game over Boise State but dropped a decision before that to No.24 Providence 69-65. They also barely beat Santa Clara in the game before 75-73 in overtime.
Led by Ryan Anderson’s 16.0 PPG, they’ll be taking on a tough Gonzaga team that has only allowed more than 65 points once so far this season.
Point Spread: +8 Money: -320 Over-Under: 140.0
Betting on the Gonzaga Bulldogs (5-1, 0-0 West Coast Conference)
The Gonzaga Bulldogs have looked sharp out of the blocks already dropping the likes of Connecticut, Washington and Washington State. They do have one blemish to their name with a one point loss to No.18 Texas A&M one week ago.
The team is led by senior Kyle Wiltjer’s 19.3 PPG and sophomore Domantas Sabonis’ 9.5 RPG. The team is looking like the likely candidate to represent the Pacific Northwest going deep again this spring.
Point Spread: -8 Money: -400 Over-Under: 140.0
Writer’s Prediction:
Gonzaga takes it 68-61.
