No. 9 Wildcats Massive Favorites

Arizona Looking to Rebound in Pac-12

The Arizona Wildcats have hit a few speed bumps in Pac-12 play, and now they have to play catch-up with the UCLA Bruins.

Thursday’s game, part of an all-Oregon road trip for Arizona, is a crucial stretch in the Wildcats’ season. They have to start playing at a much higher level if they want to meet their team goals for the Pac-12 regular season.

Can they get the job done here and cover the college basketball odds? Let’s take a closer look at the betting matchup in the sportsbook.

Let’s check the latest college basketball odds, stats, injury reports, and college basketball lines for Arizona vs Oregon State. We’ve plenty of NCAA basketball odds for you to consider.

Arizona Wobbling

The Arizona Wildcats just aren’t playing very good basketball right now. They fell behind the Washington Huskies by 12 points in the first half of a home game last Thursday.

They missed each of their first 10 field goal attempts at the start of the second half of that game. They rallied for a 70-67 win over the Huskies, but it wasn’t pretty.

A lot of people figured that Arizona would be much sharper, much more precise and much more prepared for its next game on Saturday against Washington State, but that was not the case.

Washington State dominated Arizona from start to finish except for a brief, late flurry by the Wildcats that fell well short. Washington State hit a late 3-pointer to stop an Arizona rally in a 74-61 win.

Arizona now has two Pac-12 losses and is two games behind the first-place UCLA Bruins, who now have to be considered the Pac-12 favorites.

Arizona doesn’t have a whole lot of margin for error. It will need to sweep the Oregon schools on this week’s road trip to stay within shouting distance of UCLA before playing the Bruins later this month.

This is an important time for coach Tommy Lloyd to get his players focused. The Wildcats just haven’t been on top of their game in the early days of 2023.

Oregon State Skidding

Oregon State is going through another miserable basketball season. The Beavers have lost four straight conference games going back to December.

Their last three losses have been by at least nine points, and their last two losses, to Utah and Colorado, were both blowouts.

Last Thursday, the Beavers were bad on defense, allowing 79 points to Utah. Two days later, the Beavers cratered on offense, scoring just 42 points in a 20-point loss to Colorado.

Great teams win in different ways. They can win with their offense and their defense. One side of the ball can compensate for the other on a bad night. Oregon State is just the opposite.

The Beavers are losing in different ways. When one side of the ball is bad, everything crumbles and no one is able to pick up the slack. Oregon State is a mess, and it needs everything – and everyone – to come together for this big game against Arizona.
