Arizona vs. West Virginia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Arizona vs. West Virginia odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Arizona vs. West Virginia picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 78, West Virginia 74

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no reason to take the moneyline here. The Wildcats (-275) should come out on top and have a more talented team, despite having struggled recently. They aren’t worth a play to win outright.

Against the spread

BET WEST VIRGINIA +6.5 (-110).

The Wildcats have yet to cover this season as single-digit favorites, going 0-3 ATS in those games. They have lost 3 of their last 4, as well, scoring 77 or fewer in 2 of those losses.

West Virginia is 2-1 ATS in its last 3 games. It has scored 86 or more in 2 of its last 3, so its offense is clicking. The Mountaineers beat Gonzaga in OT Wednesday and took Louisville to OT Thursday in their last 2 games and should again keep things close.

Take WEST VIRGINIA +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 151.5 (-110).

If there’s 1 thing the Wildcats know how to do, it is score the ball. They have tallied at least 77 points in 5 of 6 games this season and put up 104 on the Davidson Wildcats in the first game of the tournament. Arizona is 4-2 O/U on the season.

West Virginia is 2-3-1 O/U, but as an underdog, its defense has allowed at least 78 points in all 3 games. The Mountaineers have scored at least 75 in $ of 6 this season. Back OVER 151.5 (-110).
