Can Arizona Bounce Back?

Arizona, in the last game, faced off against Kansas on the road, and it didn’t go according to plan. At halftime, they were down 39-30, and even though they scored 46 points in the second half, they still fell short. Arizona shot over 47 percent from the field but they allowed Kansas to shoot over 49 percent and that was the difference. Jaden Bradley did have a huge game, putting up 21 points, three rebounds, and two assists. Two games ago against Arizona State, they gave up 100 points, but the offense managed 113 on the way to the win. Caleb Love is averaging 16.4 points while shooting 37.6 percent from the field. 

Arizona sits with a 20-11 record overall. Arizona is averaging 82 points while their defense is giving up 72.1 points per game. They like to push the pace, and I would expect they are going to speed it up again here. Caleb Love is averaging 16.4 points while their shooting 37.6 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from behind the three point line. There are three different players averaging at least 10 points. 

Kansas Play With Fire

Kansas has been playing with fire all season, and it was the same on Wednesday night. Kansas faced off against UCF, and they scored 98 points on the way to the four-point victory. The problem though was it took overtime, and they were only a couple of shots away from being knocked out of the tournament. Kansas shot 44.7 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from behind the three-point line. Zeke Mayo had a huge game, putting up 24 points, eight rebounds, and one assist. AJ Stror also put up 19 points, and after being mostly a non-factor all season, it was quite the game. 

Kansas is averaging 75.5 points on the season, while its defense is giving up 67.9 points per game. The defense is ranked 61st overall, and especially on tired legs, they are going to need the defense to step up in a big way here. Hunter Dickinson has been the top player, averaging 17.4 points while shooting 53.8 percent from the field. He needs to have another huge game here. 

Kansas vs Arizona Prediction

It’s shocking that Arizona is only a slight favorite here. Yes, Kansas just beat Arizona last week, but don’t let that fool you; it will not be the same here. Kansas not only is on tired legs, the game also went to overtime, and that is going to catch up with them. At halftime, Kansas might have it close, but in the second half, Arizona will pull away. Caleb Love is going to have another huge game here, and it will be Arizona that is going to end up cruising here. Back Arizona against the spread.
