Arizona held its own in a tough conference before losing to Houston in the Big 12 championship game. The Wildcats feature Caleb Love, who averaged 16.4 points in the regular season and scored 19.0 points per game in the Big 12 tournament. The Wildcats are #56 in the nation, allowing just a .415 field goal percentage and 33.4 percent from 3-point distance. Akron is normally a high-scoring team, but the Zips will be on a neutral court three time zones from home, which could affect their shooting. We've seen it happen before, and even yesterday, Clemson had only 13 points at halftime before it got used to the surroundings. Akron is 3-7 ATS as an underdog, and its narrow 76-74 win over Miami, Ohio, in the MAC championship game stayed UNDER by 9.5 points. The Zips had to rally from a 46-34 halftime deficit and missed 18 of 27 3-point tries. Akron had losses against Milwaukee, Yale, and Princeton before the conference season began. Take Arizona and the UNDER.
