I'm an Arizona homer and have been looking forward to this game for a while. Don't overthink this just because the line seems strange. Zona has the size, the talent, and the coaching to get a big win here. Not to mention home court advantage. I know it sounds cliche, but McKale center is going to be insane, and if the Cats get off to a strong start they are liable to put their foot on Florida's throat with the crowd behind them. Tucson has been buzzing around this team since before the season even started, and it is crescendoing into tomorrow night. The game is absolutely sold out.
Cats have veteran leadership in Solomon Hill, good role playing by guys like Parrom and Chol, a good point guard duo in fifth year senior Mark Lyons and explosive Nick Johnson, and last but not least the freshmen: 7-footer Tarzcewski, plus Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett. They are deep deep deep.

I've watched both teams and I think Florida is on another level personally. They are consistent, deep and very mature. I think they are a Top-3 team along with Syracuse and Indiana. I hate the hook here because Arizona aren't slouches but I see a Gator victory tomorrow night on the road.

Home court is the one thing I give Zona here - it will come into play.
