NCAA Basketball Betting - Washington State at Arizona
BetUS: The
Arizona Wildcats (12-6 SU, 9-6-1 ATS), who
are coming off two road win in their last three
games, will stay at home on Thursday night
as they play host to the Washington State Cougars
(16-1 SU, 10-6 ATS) in a big pac-10 matchup
that tips off at 8:30 PM ET from the McKale
Center in Tucson.
In the BetUS NCAA basketball betting odds,
the Wildcats are listed as a three-point
home favorite.
Here are some of the NCAAB betting trends
and stats relative to this matchup:
* WSU has covered six of its last seven
road games
* WSU has won seven of its last eight road
games SU
* ARIZ has won nine of its last 13 games
SU
* ARIZ has played four of its last six games
OVER the total
* ARIZ has played four of its last six home
games OVER the total
* WSU has covered ten of the last eleven
meetings
* ARIZ has won 21 of the last 24 meetings
SU
* WSU has covered the last five meetings
as the home team
* ARIZ has won 10 of the last 12 meetings
SU as the home team
* ARIZ has had the rebounding edge in nine
of the last ten meetings
* WSU has made more three-pointers in each
of the last ten meetings
* WSU allows 52.5 points per game (1st in
nation)
* WSU is shooting 50.1% from the field
* WSU yields 39.8% shooting by opponents
* WSU commits 10.5 turnovers per game
* ARIZ shoots 48.6% from the field
* ARIZ averages 29.9 rebounds per game
* ARIZ averages 6.2 three-pointers per game
Arizona played racehorse ball with California
and turned back the Bears by four points
on Saturday night, shooting 51% in the process.
And against Houston a week before that the
Wildcats hit a blistering 61%. But against
Pac-10 teams that dedicate themselves to
slowing down the pace a bit - Arizona State
and Stanford - the 'Cats were turned back.
Now here comes this very disciplined, experienced
Washington State bunch that will not make
stupid mistakes (just 10.5 TO's per game,
second best in country) And the Cougars have
not had much trouble traveling, as they have
covered six of their last seven road games.
The key is dictating tempo, which they have
done against every opponent thus far, save
for talented, suffocating UCLA.
Since Arizona has demonstrated that they
will sometimes play their opponent's game,
we have confidence that WSU will be able
to extend its covering streak in this series
to four straight and 12 of the last 13. We
will take the points with Washington State,
the three-point underdog in the BetUS NCAA
college basketball odds.
