NCAAB Betting - Arizona (+ 3) vs. USC (- 3)
BetUS: The
Arizona Wildcats have gone 6 and 4 against
the spread in their last 10. The USC Trojans
have gone 6 and 3 against the spread in their
last 9. This sets up as a very important
Pac-10 match-up between two teams that should
make it to the NCAA Tournament in March.
Here are some trends:
The Arizona Wildcats are 9 and 2 against
the spread in their last 11 games as an UNDERDOG
on the road.
The USC Trojans are 4 and 0 against the
spread in their last 4 games against a rival
team from the Pac-10 Division.
The Arizona Wildcats are 0 and 4 against
the spread in the last 4 meetings between
these two teams.
The Arizona Wildcats are 5 and 0 against
the spread in their last 5 overall games.
No notable
injuries for either team. That means that
this will come down to which team plays
better defense. I don’t know
why, but this Arizona team just feels special
to me. They play better defense then any
other Arizona team I’ve seen in probably
the past ten years. Not only that, but their
freshmen, the other one in the Pac-10 that
isn’t name Mayo or Love, is more impressive
to me then either one of those guys has been.
The reason is that Arizona freshmen Jeryd
Bayless is a college basketball player. Mayo
and Love are just playing this year to qualify
for the NBA draft. Bayless reminds me of
a Mark Macon or Steve Alford type - - he
may not make it to the NBA as a lottery pick,
but he will carry his team deep into the
NCAA Tournament.
Because of that I actually like the Wildcats
in this game. They can play man-to-man or
zone versus the USC Trojans. The Trojans
have a tendency to rely too much on Mayo.
If they do that at any point during this
game, then the Wildcats could go a decent
run.
The BetUS NCAAB Betting line is Arizona
Wildcats + 3 against the spread on the road
versus the USC Trojans.
NCAAB Free Picks: like
the Wildcats to win this game straight-up
tonight. USC is improving, but so is Arizona.
This game is
going to come down to defense and Arizona’s
is just a bit better.
