Pick
I’m backing Arizona here. Taking the Wildcats with a heavy number attached hasn’t paid off for much of anything during conference play, but head-to-head with the Beavers, more often than not, Arizona’s hanging high-80s or low-90s in this matchup, and that’s a number I don’t think the Beavers can come anywhere close to. I look for a beatdown handed out by Arizona here. Give me the Wildcats.
