The UT Arlington Mavericks and Arizona Wildcats face off on Sunday in a college basketball showdown at the McKale Center.
Arizona Offense Continues to Run Up Scores
Arizona has had a perfect start to the season and the offense has been the biggest reason why. In the last game against Belmont, Arizona scored 100 points and that led to the blowout victory. Caleb Love has been a perfect addition to the team and he finished with 20 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Arizona on the season is averaging 99.3 points while their defense is giving up 64.8 points per game. In this game, Arizona needs to run up the score and put on another show with the offense.
UT Arlington Looks to Bounce Back
UT Arlington has been through it all the first couple of games and they almost picked up a big win in the last game. UT Arlington faced off against New Mexico and they were competitive, but they ended up losing two points. UT Arlington scored 80 points, but the defense gave up 82 points. They almost made the comeback in the second half, but fell just short. UT Arlington is averaging 83.3 points while their defense is giving up 72.3 points per game. DaJaun Gordon is averaging 17 points while shooting 39.1 percent from the field.
Shane’s Free Pick
This total is too low. Arizona is an elite offensive team and they are going to reach at least 100 points here. UT Arlington has also proven to be a good offensive team and they are going to find success here. I am still not sold on the Arizona defense being very good and that is going to be the difference here as this game is going to be higher scoring. Back the over to cash here with ease.
