BYU is off a 91-57 blowout win at home over Kansas. But this is a tough two-game trip to the state of Arizona, and the Cougars have a losing road record. Two road games ago, they lost as a small underdog at Cincinnati (84-66). BYU's defense is 10th in the 16-team Big 12 in shooting allowed and 14th in 3-point defense (.345). No. 19 Arizona is second in the Big 12 (12-3) and 11-2 at home. They're third in the conference in scoring and second from the free-throw line (.772), while the defense is third in field goal shooting allowed (.403). Arizona is on a 14-3 SU, 12-5 ATS run and won at BYU two weeks ago, 85-74, as a +3 underdog. Play Arizona.
