    If thinking about betting on Arizona read this....

    The Wildcats lost their exhibition opener 69-68 to Division II Seattle Pacific, their first preseason defeat since falling to Athletes in Action in 1984.

    It was hardly the way to follow up on last season's 30-8 record, which included a Pac-10 regular-season title and trip to the NCAA tournament regional finals.

    The Wildcats, ranked in the preseason for the first time since entering at No. 17 in 2007, bounced back from that loss with a sloppy 60-51 win over D-II Humboldt State on Tuesday. Arizona turned the ball over 20 times and shot 57.9 percent from the free-throw line (22 of 38).

    "Obviously we have a low starting point, and a long way to go," coach Sean Miller said. "

    Not saying they will play as bad as they did in these two preseason games, but its a completely different team than last year, and valpo is a much better team than Humboldt and seattle pacific, so IM0 the play is Valpo +13.5 or no play.

    Actually, exhibition games are pretty useful. In Beavers, I found them as predictive as regular season games (allowing me to bet earlier in the season).

    This isn't football, friend.
    Just how many "spots" do you think the Arizona team had up for grabs that players were "battling" for?
