Arizona may be 4-2 in the PAC-12 but I haven't been impressive with what I've seen. The offense has a very difficult time getting open looks and it shows in the numbers vs. league opponents: 9th offensive efficiency, 8th effective FG%, 11th 2-point FG%. That's not going to get it done on the road vs. comparable competition on a consistent basis. Defensively, UA's numbers look fantastic vs. league opponents: 1st defensive efficiency, 1st effective FG%, 1st 3-point defense. But it is obvious those numbers are skewed some because the Wildcats have yet to face Washington, California, Stanford, Washington State and Colorado – five offenses that have the ability to score unlike Arizona State, USC and Utah. Colorado meanwhile has played a tough PAC-12 schedule when it comes to opposing offenses yet they surprisingly rank right behind Arizona in a bevy of defensive categories. The Buffaloes are more efficient on the offensive end and have a strong enough home court where anything less than Arizona’s A-game should mean a W for the Buffs. All in all, this is a play against the perception that Arizona is somehow similar to last year's squad when in reality they aren't even close. And while Colorado isn't putting up 80+ on a nightly basis, the fact that they are defending and playing at a more moderate pace actually makes them a lot more trust worthy in a pick 'em type situation.
CAL SANTA BARBARA +105 over Long Beach State Pinnacle
11:00 PM EST. Long Beach State comes into this one with a perfect 6-0 record in the Big West. They’ve won six straight and all but one of those have been by nine points or more. The 49ers are 13-6 overall, which include nice wins over Xavier and Pitt. The 49ers are a contending Big West team but they’re also overvalued here against a very good Gauchos club. UC Santa Barbara is right behind LBSU in the conference with a 4-1 conference mark. This is a huge game with a strong home court advantage for UC Santa Barbara. It’s worth noting that the game has been sold out for weeks. Aside from home court advantage, we’re not convinced that the Gauchos are the inferior team here. They rank 28th in the country in rebounding, they have a future NBAer in Orlando Johnson and they have played some meaningful games against good competition. The Gauchos took UNLV to double OT, SDSU to overtime before losing to both. Had those two games been winners instead of losers, they would have been slightly favored here. This is a sound team on both ends of the court. One that does not deserve to be a pooch in their own barn. Play: #712 Cal Santa Barbara +105 (Risking 2 units).
