The Wisconsin Badgers and Arizona Wildcats face off on Saturday in a college basketball showdown at the McKale Center. Let’s look at the betting matchup and give a free Wisconsin vs Arizona prediction.

Wisconsin Just Continues to Win

Wisconsin has found a whole lot of success heading into this game and they have had some big wins this season. Just two games ago they beat Marquette 75-64 and in the last game against Michigan State, they won 70-57. AJ Storr was the top player for Wisconsin in the last game putting up 22 points and five rebounds. Wisconsin is averaging 73.6 points while their defense is giving up 63.1 points per game. AJ Storr has been the top player averaging 14.2 points while shooting 42.7 percent from the field. 

Another Test for Arizona

Arizona hasn’t played the toughest schedule but they do have wins already over Duke Blue Devils and Michigan State. In the last game against Colgate, Arizona scored 82 points but even better was the defense giving up only 55 points. Caleb Love did have a strong game scoring 14 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. Arizona on the season is averaging 93.4 points while their defense is giving up 62.6 points per game. In this game the defense is going to need to step up in a big way to put the pressure on Wisconsin. On the season Love is averaging 13.3 points while shooting 39.5 percent from the field. 

Wisconsin vs Arizona Betting Prediction

Arizona has impressed me and I think they are going to find success again here. Wisconsin beat a very good Marquette team by nine points, and they are going to find success again here. Wisconsin’s defense is going to step up and slowdown the Arizona offense and that is going to be the difference here as Wisconsin is going to get the job done. Back Wisconsin to cover the spread here.
