First posted pick


Arizona -3 (-110)


- Advantage to Arizona on the glass tonight. The Wildcats average 38 rebounds per game to just 33 from the Badgers. On the offensive glass Arizona is pulling in 10 boards, to just eight from Wisconsin. Both of these teams’ control the ball well, and both are very similar on the offensive end of the court, but it is Arizona's defense and rebounding ability that makes them the play tonight. The Wildcats own the nation’s fifth ranked scoring defense at 58.4 points per game. The Wildcats have also fared very well against the spread on road and in neutral court games versus teams that have respectable defenses. They're also 20-8 against the spread in non-conference games over the last two seasons. They have faced two completely different teams in the tournament thus far. With Gonzaga they were challenged with shutting down a very capable offense and with San Diego State they had to find a way to beat a very impressive defense. Both they did. Battle tested with confidence, I'll back the Wildcats tonight.


Was hoping for -2.5 but still like -3


Good luck tonight
