Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Arizona vs. Oregon State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Arizona was upset 74-61 as a 12-point favorite against Washington State Saturday. The Wildcats were undone by uncharacteristically allowing 14 offensive rebounds and by shooting a season-low 31.7% from the floor. The loss in Tucson snapped an 8-game win streak.
The Beavers are 0-3 straight up and 1-2 against the spread over their last 3 games. Oregon State is a slow-paced team that also struggles with its offensive efficiency and was held to a season-low 42 points in its last game, a 62-42 loss at Colorado Saturday.

Arizona at Oregon State picks and predictions
Prediction
Arizona 82, Oregon State 67
Moneyline
Arizona (-2000) is far too steep as a standalone wager or in a parlay. PASS.
Against the spread
Oregon State has been wildly inconsistent and cannot be recommended in this spot, but the spread is also a couple of points away from any value for Arizona. PASS.
Over/Under
The Over is 4-1 in the Wildcats’ last 5 games following a straight-up loss and is 5-1 in the Beavers’ last 6 games after scoring fewer than 50 points in their previous game.
The last time Arizona lost a game, it popped back up with a solid offensive performance by pouring in 81 points against a slow team in the Cal Golden Bears on Dec. 4. The Over hit in that contest and has in 4 of 5 UA games against teams outside the KenPom top-150.
BACK THE OVER 144.5 (-105).
