Utah State Aggies vs. Arizona Wildcats

We are backing Utah State +11.5 as they enter this matchup on a five-game win streak, most recently dominating the paint (42-26) in an 86-76 victory over Villanova led by 22 points from Mason Falslev. Arizona remains a high-variance candidate, exemplified by a seven-minute scoring drought in their recent Big 12 championship win over Houston, which validates our assessment of their prone-ness to prolonged offensive lulls. The Aggies' disciplined interior play and Falslev’s Player of the Year form provide the necessary efficiency to exploit these droughts and keep the margin within double digits.
