First Round Game
Spread: N/A Moneyline N/A vs. 16. Wright State or Bryant
**DISCLAIMER: ODDS WILL BE UPDATED AFTER THE WRIGHT STATE VS BRYANT GAME IS PLAYED**
It really won't matter who Arizona faces in the first round. The Wildcats are one of the best teams in the nation and won't struggle against a 16-seeded mid-major team. The Wildcats are shooting 35.4% from deep and 57.5% from inside the arc. Then on the defensive end, Arizona is holding teams to 32,.7% from deep and 41.9% from inside the arc. Arizona is assisting on the most baskets in college basketball and continues to block shots and rebound the ball at a very solid pace. Whatever the line is, Arizona will have my bet against the spread.
Final Four
Arizona +145 (Bet $100 to Win $145)
The Arizona Wildcats have the second-best odds to win March Madness. Arizona isn't a sleeper but they don't have to be. Arizona is built to win this season with quality offense and defense throughout the season. Plus winning the Pac-12 is a much greater accomplishment this year with the Pac-12 really improving last season. The competition level is back to being elite in the Pac-12 and Arizona was the team to win the conference. They never flinched and perform under pressure, even being down by double-digits.
National Championship
Arizona +600 (Bet $100 to Win $600)
Find me a better team than Arizona analytically? You can argue Gonzaga but the reality is, Arizona had had more of a challenge this season and still went 31-3 before the NCAA Tournament. Arizona is a top-five offense and a top-20 defense. This team really came together in the Pac-12 Finals, defeating UCLA after overcoming a massive deficit. They didn't flinch or get down on themselves and ultimately, Arizona played without Kerr Kriisa in that game too. Arizona's going all the way. I've placed my wager.
