Predictions and Betting Preview for the Arizona Wildcats vs Arizona State Sun Devils College Basketball Game on March 10, 2023
- Where: T-Mobile Arena Paradise, Nevada
- When: Friday, March 10, 2023, 11:30 PM ET
Betting on the Arizona Wildcats
- Regular Season Record: 26-6
Arizona made sure it won’t be ousted early in the Pac-12 tournament, as the Wildcats thumped the Stanford Cardinal Thursday in the quarterfinals, 95-84. The Wildcats’ shooting was scorching against Stanford, which served as a punching bag for the tandem of Oumar Ballo and Azuolas Tubelis. Oumar paced the Wildcats with 24 points, while Tubelis had 20 points.
Meanwhile, Cedric Henderson Jr. added 23 points for the Wildcats, who shot 63.8 percent from the field. That’s no fluke for Arizona. The Wildcats finished the regular season third nationally with 83.5 points per game and third also with an effective field goal percentage of 57.0%. The Over is 4-0 in Arizona’s last four games.
Betting on the Arizona State Sun Devils
- Regular Season Record: 22-11
The Sun Devils are still alive in the Pac-12 tournament. They defeated the Oregon State Beavers in the first round, 63-57, before upsetting the USC Trojans in the quarterfinals on Thursday, 77-72. That win against the No. 3 seed Trojans was a huge moral booster for the Sun Devils heading into another meeting with Arizona.
That being said, the Sun Devils can always draw confidence from the fact that they already have a win this season versus the Wildcats. They defeated Arizona on Feb. 25 at home, 89-88. The Sun Devils are not a high-scoring team but the Wildcats’ leaky defense can be exploited by the likes of Desmond Cambridge Jr. and DJ Horne, who combined for 37 points in that win over Arizona. Arizona State is 4-1 ATS in its last five games in a neutral location.
