Arizona State vs Arizona College Basketball Betting Preview
To say that Arizona State’s season has been a rollercoaster ride would be an understatement. Along the way, they’ve had a five-game losing streak, a three-game winning streak with two of them on the road, and two separate three-game streaks that were postponed or canceled. The Sun Devils have lost five of their last six and are coming off a 78-56 loss at #15 USC. Arizona State’s second leading scorer is questionable for today’s matchup due to illness. If you can’t go, the team ranked 383rd in points per game just got a lot worse against one of the best teams in the country.
With the Wildcats looking all season long, it’s amazing that this team didn’t even qualify to start the season. Arizona’s only two losses are on the way to #18 Tennessee and #7 UCLA. Their 75-59 loss to UCLA on Tuesday was their most recent game. Simply put, this team is incredibly deep, which can be seen with them averaging just over 87 points per game this season. They also give up just under 65 points per game, so the Wildcats are far from one-dimensional. This has the makings of a “get it right” game for Arizona.

Arizona State vs Arizona Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
Bottom line, barring a miracle, the state of Arizona doesn’t stand a chance in this game. Their entire team has been in shambles all season and Arizona will be looking to take out their anger over UCLA losing at home. With Arizona State’s Kimani Lawrence questionable due to illness, it’s somehow even bleaker for the Sun Devils.
Arizona is going to win this game. That may be the safest bet of the year, however, it pays little. With Arizona State’s anemic offense and porous defense, even with a big stretch, I like Arizona to cover. They are simply too good and too deep. In a home rivalry game, don’t expect the Wildcats to relax until the clock hits zero.
