The No. 1-ranked Wildcats enter this rivalry game as one of two remaining unbeaten teams, and my Arizona vs. Arizona State prediction expects them to extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 22 games with another resounding victory.
Tipoff from Desert Financial Arena is set for 2 p.m. ET (TNT), with Arizona listed as a 15.5-point betting favorite. The Wildcats won 89-82 at home against the Sun Devils earlier this season, but my top prediction for this game is for the Under to cash in what should be more of a defensive struggle.
