Well, once again, I've gotta go with Arizona in this one. Not sure why the line is only 25.5. . . might have something to do with Walton being questionable, but Arizona has actually played better when he is not in the lineup!
30 point wins will not be anything new or special for this team this year. No, I don't expect it in every single game the Cats play, but definitely against teams that lose to powerhouses like TN Martin and SMS and pull out a squeaker against the Bonnies who had trouble rebounding the ball and playing D. Arizona will have no problem forcing turnovers and pouring it on when they want to in this game.
I would consider the first half line, but not sure what Lute will want to do the first half. . . may try and implement a new full court press as he did the first half of the NAU game. If it doesn't work, I assume he'll switch back to the press that was seen against Western Kentucky for the entire game and blow this team away.
Expect to see several different matchups in this one as Lute loves to use these games to determine which players work well together. But when all is said and done, the press will wear this team down in the 2nd half and we should have to rely on a bench player to sink a 3 at the buzzer again for a cover!
