Arizona Wildcats vs Arkansas Razorbacks Point Spread Picks

Arizona comes into the game riding an 11-game winning streak, covering the number in six of them, although the Wildcats barely missed getting the money by a half-point while defeating Utah State 78-66 on Sunday, and the game stayed UNDER by 10.5 points. The Wildcats held LIU to 58 points and 32 percent shooting in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Arizona is good at controlling the tempo, but they will have to deal with one of the best players in the country, Darius Acuff Jr., who is averaging 30 points in his past five games. The Wildcats have plenty of size and can dominate the paint, but they'll have to defend the 3-point line, as the Razorbacks are 10th in the country in 3-point percentage. Arizona has five scorers averaging double figures, led by Brayden Burries (16.0), Koa Peat (13.7), and Jaden Bradley (13.3). The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their past six against SEC opponents and 14-5-1 ATS in Thursday games. This is by far the highest posted total of the Thursday games, but look for Arizona's inside presence to keep the Razorbacks at bay. The Wildcats have held five of their past eight opponents to 66 points or fewer. Take Arizona and the UNDER.
