Arizona State vs. Arizona CBB Prediction:
The Wildcats are laying 18 points at Bovada.lv and I’m going to lay the wood. When these two teams met in Tempe on February 1, the Wildcats won by 9 and covered the 6.5-point spread. It was the fourth time in this series that Arizona covered (the last time ASU covered against the Wildcats was February 25, 2023). The Sun Devils are also just 2-8 straight up and 3-7 against the number over their last 10 games.
