Why Arizona Will Cover The Spread/Win

Arizona comes into this game with a 12-7 mark against the spread. Moreover, the Wildcats are 2-3 against the spread on the road. Arizona is also 3-5 against the spread when playing conference games. Lastly, Arizona is 6-5 against the spread when playing on equal rest.

Love is their best player. So far, he is averaging 18.4 points per game while shooting 43.4 percent from the field. Larsson is averaging 13.1 points per game while shooting 55.2 percent from the field, including 47.7 percent from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Oumar Ballo is averaging 12.4 points and nine rebounds per game. Johnson is averaging 11.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game while shooting 55.3 percent from the field.

Arizona lost their last game because their defense fell flat. Unfortunately, their inability to cover any shot proved to be their downfall. They also allowed the Beavers to beat them with the three-pointer. Additionally, they just could not get to the defensive side fast enough to close out on the shooters. Because of that, they became vulnerable.

Arizona will cover the spread if they can build a good lead with some early shooting. Then, the defense needs to close out and play tough against long-distance shooters.

Why Oregon Will Cover The Spread/Win

Oregon is now 12-5 against the spread as they head into this battle. Also, the Ducks are 7-3 against the spread as the home team. Oregon is also 5-3 against the spread when battling members of their conference. Finally, they are 4-3 against the spread when playing on equal rest.

Cousinard is their best player. Currently, he is averaging 14.6 points per game. Look for the Ducks to get him involved. Ultimately, he is the guy that makes this team go. But he is not alone. No, there is also Dante. He is averaging 14 points per game while shooting 57 percent from the field. Jackson Shelstad is also having a productive season. So far, he is averaging 12.8 points per game while shooting 48.4 percent. He will continue to be a good third option for the Ducks. Nate Bittle returned on Thursday and put up seven points. Now, he is averaging 11.5 points per game while shooting 47.4 percent from the field.

Oregon won their last game because they were able to shoot the ball efficiently and hit their shots. Also, they made some key adjustments in the second half that helped put them over the edge.

Oregon will cover the spread if Cousinard and Dante can both be productive. Then, they need to contain Love.
