|---|---|
| KANSAS JAYHAWKS | -110 |
| ARIZONA WILDCATS | -110 |
The Wildcats are heading to Kansas as the top team in the country with a 23–0 record. Their offense is considered one of the most efficient arsenals in the nation right now, largely thanks to their star player, Brayden Burries.
Arizona is averaging 89.5 PPG, while allowing only 67.6 from opponents. On that note, they are 13th in the nation in points per game, 7th in rebounds per game, and 27th in assists. Another key stat for the Wildcats is their 52% field-goal percentage.
The Kansas Jayhawks, currently ranked 11th in the nation with an 18–5 overall record. They’re in the middle of a brutal stretch against tough opponents, which will hopefully work in their favor and keep their momentum trending upward throughout the season.
They are in the middle of a seven-game win streak, beating Iowa State, BYU, and Texas Tech in this run. After they battle Arizona this Monday, they’ll head into another rematch with Iowa State. They’ll need all they can get from their stars, Darryn Peterson and Flory Bidunga.
Will this be Arizona's first loss of the season? The odds have the Wildcats as favorites with -2.5 on the spread. The over/under is 147.5 with a Moneyline of -110 for both Arizona and for Kansas.
Our pick goes towards Arizona maintaining their undefeated status a little bit longer. We recommend taking them on the spread at -2.5.
