Betting on the Arizona Wildcats
- Season record: 7-1
- Spread: To be defined [Por definir]
- Moneyline: To be defined [Por definir]
- Over/Under: To be defined [Por definir]
The visiting team has been having a good season so far, with four wins in the last five games (they only lost 81-66 to Utah Utes as visitors). Arizona has a very high average of points per game, 91.5, with Azulas Tubelis being the top scorer, averaging 20.1.
However, there is one area of concern, and that is the defense. So much so that the coach himself, Tommy Lloyd, spoke out about it during the week:
“Our defense needs to improve. I have to build a better defense for this team.”
Does that mean Courtney Ramey won’t get as many minutes? It is likely. His performance is undoubtedly disappointing, given that he arrived with the reputation of being one of the best defenders in the country, area in which the Wildcats precisely suffer.
Betting on the Indiana Hoosiers
- Season record: 8-1
- Spread: To be defined [Por definir]
- Moneyline: To be defined [Por definir]
- Over/Under: To be defined [Por definir]
The home team has also been doing very well so far this season. Of the last five games they have played, they only lost to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 63-48 as a visitor, and come into this Saturday’s encounter having defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 81-65 at home.
The most important player is Trayce Jackson-Davis, being the top scorer (17.5 points on average per game), and also the one who grabs the most rebounds (8.9). Meanwhile, Xavier Johnson has assisted the most, averaging 4.6 assists per game.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be a very, very even match, given that both teams are arriving to this game having had good campaigns this season, respectively. However, Arizona has a lot of work to do on defense, and when playing away from home, they could have a tough time.
For that reason, at JefeBet we consider that this Arizona vs Indiana game will be for the home owners.
Prediction: Indiana Hoosiers win by less than 10 points.
