Arizona Wildcats Game Notes
Arizona guard Caleb Love was great in his team’s 83-80 road loss to Oregon State on Thursday night. The North Carolina transfer logged 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in 35 minutes of action. He shot 6 of 12 from the field, 2 of 7 from distance, and 9 of 10 from the free throw line in the defeat.
Wildcats forward Keshad Johnson also played well in his team’s game on Thursday. The 6’7” senior racked up 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block while shooting 7 of 11 from the field and 4 of 5 from the charity stripe. Johnson is second on the team in rebounding with 6.4 boards per game this season.

Arizona vs. Oregon CBB Prediction:
This is a tough spot for Arizona. The Wildcats played at Oregon State on Thursday night and lost 83-80 on a buzzer-beating stepback three-pointer. Now Arizona has to play at Oregon less than 48 hours later. The Ducks are 10-0 straight up and 7-3 against the spread at home this season. They are 18-12-1 ATS at home since the start of last season and 36-31-1 ATS as an underdog since the start of the 2015 season.
What’s more, Oregon has defeated Arizona 5 consecutive times straight up in Eugene, and the Ducks are 4-1 against the spread in that same span. Oregon is currently sitting atop the Pac-12 standings and I think they’ll remain there after this game. I’m taking the Ducks and the points at home on Saturday evening.
