Clemson vs. Arizona picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 81, Clemson 72

Moneyline

At -300, Arizona’s implied win probability is 75%. That’s not an actionable value point, but its not far off. PASS for now, but bettors with enough bankroll to leverage opportunities like this should consider the Wildcats if the tag falls below -290.

Peg UA as being closer to an 80% prospect here. The Wildcats are a robust 8-3 in their Quadrant 1 games (learn more about college hoops quadrants here).

Against the spread

Arizona plays at a faster tempo than Clemson and is the more efficient squad at both ends of the floor. KenPom ranks the Wildcats as being No. 9 in offensive efficiency and No. 10 on defense (CU comes in at Nos. 24 and 38, respectively).

The Tigers have generally fared well against faster teams, but the ACC offered no similar comps to Arizona when it comes to the Wildcats’ rebounding and 3-point shooting. UA ranks in KenPom’s top-20 in both categories and has shot a robust 39.6% from distance in this Tournament.

Arizona can sometimes be leaky in taking care of the basketball, but Clemson is not a take-away type of defense. With Arizona figuring to also have an edge in free throws, BACK THE WILDCATS -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Both sides are riding significant Under trends heading into this one, but this contest sets up as a zag.

Its reasonable to be looking for some regression in Arizona’s defensive field-goal numbers here. Add in what the Wildcats do well — offensive rebounds and put-backs, free throws, 3s — and with those being score-spiral factors, the OVER 151.5 (-115) is a slight lean.

March Madness: Dayton vs. Arizona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Dayton vs. Arizona odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dayton Flyers (25-7) and Arizona Wildcats (26-8) start off Saturday’s NCAA Tournament 2nd-round action. Tip-off from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City is slated for 12:45 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dayton vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Dayton, the 7th seed in the West Region, rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat 10th-seeded Nevada 63-60 in the 1st round Thursday. UD trailed 56-39 with 7:15 to go in the 2nd half before going on a 24-4 run to close the game and stun the Wolf Pack, who went ice-cold from the field down the stretch.

The Flyers hit 45.7% from the field, and 42.1% (8 of 19) from behind the 3-point line, while converting 13 of 15 free throws (86.7%). F DaRon Holmes scored 8 of his game-high 18 points during the final run. Dayton was a 1-point underdog and the Under (137) hit.

Arizona, the No. 2 seed, scorched 15th-seeded Long Beach State 85-65 Thursday — the Wildcats pushed as 20-point favorites and the Under (163) cashed. Despite the push, Arizona is a healthy 7-3-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 12 games, while the Under has connected in 4 in a row, and 7 of the past 9 outings.

The Wildcats had 5 players — all starters — go for double-digit scoring totals, led by G Kylan Boswell’s 20 points, including 4 3-pointers. Arizona was 37.1% behind the arc, hitting 13 of 35 attempts.

Arizona is No. 9 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, while Dayton fell out of the Top 25 following a A-10 quarterfinal loss to Duquesne — the Flyers had been ranked most of the season, climbing as high as No. 16.

Dayton vs. Arizona and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 80, Dayton 63

Moneyline

Arizona (-500) costs too much to play straight up. One would have to risk 5 times the potential profit. As a long-term betting strategy, that’s just a losing way to go.

Dayton (+375) cannot be trusted for the big upset. It is lucky to be here and probably shouldn’t even be in this game, but Nevada played not to lose once it had a big lead Thursday, rather than playing to win.

Don’t get me wrong. The Flyers are a talented team which made noise at times, but the Wildcats are just too strong from top to bottom, and size will make a huge difference.

PASS.

Against the spread

ARIZONA -9.5 (-115) is a strong play laying the points. The Wildcats took care of business in their opener against Long Beach State, not playing down to the competition, but playing their game and dictating the tempo. The Wildcats have been a team playing free, letting talent take over, and not worrying about adjusting to the style of the opponent.

Dayton dug itself out of a deep hole against Nevada in the 1st round. That’s great, and it was a solid effort and comeback. The Flyers can’t afford to do that against the ‘Cats, or they will get buried by a more talented squad.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Over/Under

UNDER 149.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

The Under has hit in 4 straight games for the Wildcats as the defense has picked up the pace. Arizona has allowed 67 or fewer points in those 4 outings, and in 6 of the past 8. Arizona has tremendous size in the interior, and it is likely to push Dayton around a bit.

The Flyers won a Under game against the Wolf Pack in the 1st round, and the Under cashed an vs. Duquesne in the A-10 Tournament loss. Prior to the conference tournament, the Over was on a 6-0 run for Dayton to close out the regular season. But the Flyers are facing much better teams in the postseason. Look for the total to go Under again in Round 2.

March Madness: Long Beach State vs. Arizona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Long Beach State vs. Arizona odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Long Beach State Beach (21-14) and Arizona Wildcats (25-8) meet Thursday for an NCAA Tournament first-round game. Tip-off from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET (TBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Long Beach State vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Long Beach State, the 15th seed in the West Region, fired coach Dan Monson prior to the Big West Tournament, but allowed him to finish out the season. All he did was lead his team to a Big West Tournament championship, winning over UC Riverside, UC Irvine and UC Davis en route to a trophy. It also covered all 3 games while cashing the Over in 2 of the 3 outings.

Arizona secured the No. 2 seed in the West Region despite losing in the 2nd game of the Pac-12 Tournament March 15. The Under cashed in both of the tourney games while going 6-2 across the past 8 outings. Arizona is just 5-3 straight up (SU) in the 8-game span.

These teams meet for the 1st time since Nov. 24, 2019, a 104-67 win by the Wildcats. Arizona has won 5 straight meetings dating back to Nov. 19, 2012, going 4-1 against the spread (ATS) with the Over going 3-1-1 in the 5-game span.

Arizona is No. 9 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Long Beach State vs. Arizona picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 94, Long Beach State 71

Moneyline

Arizona (-3000) will cost you 30 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to ever bet such a heavy favorite. You would need to risk $100 just to net $3.33 in profit. It makes no sense, even including Arizona as part of a multi-team parlay.

AVOID.

Against the spread

ARIZONA -20.5 (+100) is a decent play at even-money. Long Beach State +20.5 (-120) might be able to hang for 10-15 minutes, but look for the Wildcats to pull away, using their size to beat down the Beach.

C Oumar Ballo will especially be a handful down low, as Long Beach State just doesn’t have to size to match up with the 7-foot Malian center.

Arizona is 9-5 SU/ATS in 14 games against teams in the NCAA Tournament, while Long Beach State is 1-1 SU and 2-0 ATS in 2 games against tournament teams.

Over/Under

OVER 163.5 (-110) is worth a look.

The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for Long Beach State, going for 74 or more points on offense in 5 in a row while allowing 70 or more points in 7 of the previous 8 contests.

Arizona was 1 of the highest scoring offenses in the nation, going for 89.5 PPG, while hitting at a 49.2% clip from the field and 37.4% mark from behind the arc. Defensively, Arizona allowed 73.2 PPG, which was in the bottom 3rd in the nation. The Wildcats score plenty, and allow plenty, leading to frequent Over results.

Arizona at USC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Arizona at USC odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 5 Arizona Wildcats (24-6, 15-4 Pac-12) take on the USC Trojans (13-17, 7-12) Saturday at Galen Center. Tip is set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Arizona vs. USC odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

The Wildcats, No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, have won 10 of 11 after an 88-65 can-opening on UCLA Thursday. G Caleb Love had 17 points as he reached double figures for the 27th consecutive game. The senior from St. Louis is averaging a career-high 36.1% shooting from beyond the arc. He had 20 in the 82-67 victory over USC Jan. 17.

Southern Cal has won 2 in a row but failed to cover as a 9.5-point favorite in its 81-73 victory over Arizona State Thursday. G Boogie Ellis went off for 28 points in the W, and he has dropped 24+ in 3 of 5. Ellis missed the previous matchup with Arizona in January, but he had 35 against them last year.

Arizona at USC picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 82, USC 73

Moneyline

I’m picking Arizona, but it’s far too expensive to consider on the ML.

PASS.

Against the spread

USC is 8-6 at home but just 3-9 on the road this year. With Ellis ballin’ out of control right now, I like him to keep the Trojans in it. USC covered as a 21-point dog in the 1st meeting without Ellis, and I like him to keep it within single digits.

Take USC +9.5 (-120).

Over/Under

USC is 7-3 O/U over the last 10, and Arizona is 5-5. The Over is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings with the Under 158.5 cashing earlier this season. Arizona is just 16-14 O/U this season, and it’s good for 80 points. But I’m projecting this to fall a little short here.

LEAN UNDER 159.5 (-110).

Arizona at UCLA odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 5 Arizona Wildcats (23-6, 14-4 Pac-12) visit the UCLA Bruins (14-15, 9-9) Thursday. Tip-off from Pauley Pavilion is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Arizona vs. UCLA odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Arizona routed the Oregon Ducks 103-83 Saturday while covering as a 13.5-point home favorite. The Wildcats shot 60.9% from the field and 56% from 3. Arizona had 3 players eclipse the 20-point mark, and G Kylan Boswell added 19 points off the bench. Arizona has won 3 consecutive games.

UCLA lost 77-65 vs. the 20th-ranked Washington State Cougars Saturday while failing to cover as a 6.5-point road underdog. UCLA was outrebounded 39-24 in the loss. The Bruins have lost 4 consecutive games, dropping all 4 against the spread (ATS) as well.

The Wildcats beat the Bruins 77-71 as 18.5-point home favorites on Jan. 20 as the Over (142) hit.

Arizona at UCLA picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 79, UCLA 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Arizona (-430) should pick up the win here, but the Wildcats are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites, especially since they’re only 5-5 in their last 10 matchups vs. UCLA. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN ARIZONA -8.5 (-118).

Arizona has covered the spread in back-to-back outings and is 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 games, while the Bruins are 0-4 ATS in their last 4. The Wildcats have also been the better team ATS this season, going 19-9-1 while UCLA is 12-15-2.

The No. 7 Arizona Wildcats (22-6, 13-4 Pac-12) welcome the Oregon Ducks (19-9, 11-6) to McKale Center Saturday. Tip is set for 2 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Arizona is No. 7 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. The Wildcats beat the Arizona State Sun Devils 85-67 Wednesday, covering as an 11.5-point road favorite.

Oregon beat the Oregon State Beavers 78-71 Wednesday, failing to cover as a 13.5-point favorite. The Ducks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and 14-14 ATS on the season. Oregon is 3-4 ATS in its last 7 road games. It is led by C N’Faly Dante, who is averaging 14.8 points per game and shooting 63.4% from the field.

Prediction

Moneyline

PASS.

The Wildcats are rightfully a strong favorite, but they aren’t worth a play on the moneyline. Similarly, the Ducks haven’t played well enough to back.

Against the spread

LEAN OREGON +13.5 (-110).

The Wildcats beat the Ducks by 9 on the road earlier in the season, and in that victory, Love went for 36 points and the Cats shot 53% from downtown. That’s unlikely to be repeated.

While the Ducks have struggled to cover as of late, they are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games as an underdog. Three of their top 4 scoring options shooting at least 45% from the field. Arizona is a strong side, but the Ducks have the capability to cover here.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 158.5 (-110).

The Ducks have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games, allowing Under 71 in 5 straight and allowing Under 65 in 3 of their last 5. The Wildcats have gone Under in 3 straight and in 5 of their last 8 games.

Arizona has allowed 71 or fewer in 4 of their last 8, so they have stepped it up defensively. The recent trends for both teams suggest the defenses have improved.

That said, take UNDER 158.5 (-110).

Oregon State at Arizona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Oregon State at Arizona odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oregon State Beavers (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) and Arizona Wildcats (4-3, 2-2) meet Saturday at Arizona Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon State vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Beavers have managed 3 straight wins and covers since falling 38-35 at Washington State, the team’s only blemish to date. Oregon State is good for 26 or more points this season, with the only exception coming in a 21-7 victory at home against Utah. The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings.

The Wildcats spanked Washington State last time out on Oct. 14, so Arizona has had 2 weeks to prepare for Oregon State. Overall, the Wildcats have cashed in 6 of the past 7 games this season. The Under is 6-1 for Arizona, too.

Arizona QB Jayden de Laura (calf) is listed as questionable, as is RB Michael Wiley (ankle). If de Laura cannot go, it will be QB Noah Fifita making yet another start.

Oregon State is No. 12 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Oregon State at Arizona picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon State 31, Arizona 24

Moneyline

OREGON STATE (-165) is worth a look as a moderate favorite if you don’t want to mess around with the points and would simply like to declare a winner.

It’s not going to be easy, as Arizona (+140) is brimming with confidence after pounding Washington State in its most recent showing.

Against the spread

OREGON STATE -3 (-110) is a decent play, having covered 3 straight, and 5 of 7 games overall. It’s also 2-1 ATS in 3 games on the road, while going 3-1 ATS in 4 games as a single-digit favorite.

However, Arizona +3 (-110) is 4-0 ATS in 4 games as an underdog, including covers as a ‘dog in each of the past 3 contests overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 56.5 (-110) is the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in 6 of the past 7 games overall for Arizona, while going a perfect 3-0 in 3 games at home. The most recent game at Arizona Stadium was a 31-24 loss to Washington, cashing the Under (65) rather comfortably.

For Oregon State, the Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games, so there is some risk. But Arizona is a strong defensive team, similar to Utah, a team the Beavers went low against.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Wildcats (3-3, 1-2 Pac-12) are on the road against the No. 19 Washington State Cougars (4-1, 1-1) on Saturday with a 7 p.m. ET kickoff from Gesa Field at Martin Stadium in Pullman (Pac-12 Network).

The Cougars are No. 19 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. They suffered their 1st loss of the season last weekend, losing on the road to UCLA 25-17 as 3-point favorites. The Under (59.5) hit in the loss.

Arizona at Washington State picks and predictions

Prediction

Washington State 38, Arizona 27

Moneyline

Arizona has not beaten Washington State since 2017 and has not won in Pullman since 2014. The Wildcats have allowed an average of 37 points in their last 2 losses, while the Cougars scored 31 or more in their first 4 games before being held to 17 last week, although that was the highest total a team has scored against UCLA.

Washington State allows an average of 25.4 points per game but opponents have scored between 21 and 25 in 4 of 5 games.

Arizona is 1-2 on the road while Washington State is unbeaten at home.

Expect the Cougars to win but PASS on the moneyline at -275. That isn’t worth the action unless you include it as a leg of a parlay bet.

Against the spread

Arizona is 5-1 ATS and 3-0 ATS as the underdog, although the smallest spread as the underdogs it has faced is 9 points. Thus far, the Wildcats’ 3 losses have been by no more than 7 points.

The Cougars’ 1 conference win was by 3 points but they won all 3 non-conference games by at least 19.

BET WASHINGTON STATE -7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Arizona’s only game to hit the Over was last week’s loss to USC. Washington State has had 3 of 5 games hit the Over. In all 3, the total went at least into the 60s.

BET OVER 58.5 (-105).

Arizona at USC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Arizona at USC odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Wildcats (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) visit the No. 9 USC Trojans (5-0, 3-0) Saturday. Kickoff from Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arizona vs. USC odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Arizona fell 31-24 at home against Washington last week but covered as a 20-point underdog. QB Noah Fifita went 27 of 39 for 232 yards with 3 touchdowns and an interception. His favorite target was WR Jacob Cowing, who had 9 receptions for 70 yards and a TD, while WR Tetairoa McMillan finished with 6 catches for 45 yards and 2 scores. Arizona’s defense had no answers for Heisman Trophy candidate and Washington QB Michael Penix Jr., who threw for 363 yards on 30-of-40 attempts.

USC took down Colorado 48-41 last week but failed to cover as a 22.5-point road favorite. QB Caleb Williams went 30 of 40 for 403 yards and 6 TDs with an INT in the victory. Last season’s Heisman winner spread it around as 5 different Trojans caught TDs with WR Brenden Rice (5 receptions, 81 yards) hauling in 2. The Trojans led by as many as 27 at one point — 48-21 late in the 3rd quarter — before yielding 20 unanswered points before thwarting Buffaloes’ comeback.

Arizona at USC picks and predictions

Prediction

USC 52, Arizona 24

Moneyline

PASS.

USC (-2000) has been rolling this season and will more than likely continue that dominance Saturday. However, at -2000 odds, there is no value and absolutely no reason to put anything on the moneyline.

Against the spread

LEAN USC -21 (-110).

Williams and USC have looked phenomenal through this first chunk of the season, averaging 555.0 yards of offense. While the Trojans only beat the Buffaloes by 7 points last week, USC had multiple leads of 21 or more. Giving credit to Colorado, it was able to claw its way back into that game, but this week, Arizona will be unable to keep up.

Over/Under

BET OVER 71.5 (-110).

The Trojans have eclipsed 72 points in 3 of their 5 games and have scored at least 42 points in each. Arizona has scored at least 24 points in 4 of its 5 games.

While the burden will most likely fall on USC in order to hit this Over, its offense has shown that it is more than capable of doing so, especially in front of its home fans. The Trojans have scored at least 56 points in each of their 3 home games this season.

Washington at Arizona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Washington at Arizona odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 8 Washington Huskies (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) face the Arizona Wildcats (3-1, 1-0) in Week 5 of the college football season Saturday. Kickoff from Arizona Stadium is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Washington vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Huskies took down California 59-32 at home in Week 4, covering as 20-point favorites and cashing the Over (55.5). QB Michael Penix Jr. is firmly in the Heisman race as he leads the nation in passing yards (1,636) and passing touchdowns (16). The Huskies are the No. 8 ranked team in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

The Wildcats escaped with a 21-20 win over Stanford in Week 4, failing to cover as 13-point road favorites while the Under (60) connected. Arizona looks much improved this season after going 5-7 in 2022, with its lone loss coming against Mississippi State on the road in Week 2.
