Arizona vs BYU College Basketball Betting Preview
Who’s excited for a little Big 12 after dark on this Tuesday evening?
The two hottest teams in the conference square off in Provo in what should be a raucous atmosphere inside the Marriott Center.
BYU has won four in a row in the league and has an opportunity tonight to further cement itself comfortably inside the cutline for the NCAA Tournament.
Meanwhile, the Wildcats have lost just once since Dec. 15 and currently sit tied with Houston atop the Big 12 standings.
Arizona has won four of its first five conference road games, but I think it could be ripe to get punched in the mouth tonight by the Cougars.
BYU boasts a top-20 offense in the entire country, per KenPom’s efficiency rankings, and this will be the best shooting team that Zona has faced in recent weeks.
The Cougars also tend to shoot it better inside the friendly confines of their own building, and with the way they space the floor, they should create some matchup advantages with bigs for Arizona like Henri Veesaar having to step out onto the perimeter.
The Cougars also do a good job of taking care of the basketball and really value every possession which is important against an athletic Wildcat defense.
Additionally, I think this Arizona team is due for a letdown spot after escaping Iowa State at home in overtime and then winning an emotional road game against in-state rival Arizona State.
I expect to see BYU come out with its hair on fire from the jump in this one, and I don’t think Tommy Lloyd’s team will be able to adjust quickly enough to get back into it.
Give me the Cougars at home to cover this number.
