Michigan State vs. Arizona CBB Prediction:
A highly anticipated matchup, between a pair of national championship contenders is in store on Thanksgiving afternoon. Michigan State has won two straight after dropping two early games, while Arizona has a cruised to a 5-0 start.
Give me the over here. Arizona is going to push the pace and look to get a lot of shot attempts up. The Wildcats have been scoring at a crazy rate averaging 99.6 ppg (2nd in the country). Michigan State does not play nearly as quick as the Wildcats, but I think they get caught up in Arizona’s style of play, especially if they fall behind early, they will be looking to play catch up. Both teams have play makers all over their roster. Back the Over.
