#5 Arizona Wildcats vs Arizona State Sun Devils. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #5 Arizona Wildcats.

Despite their strong defensive play this season, Arizona State’s performance versus San Francisco must be a reason for concern.

The Sun Devils were completely destroyed by the Dons, who shot 57.1% from the field and made 15 of their 29 tries from beyond the arc in the lopsided defeat.

They now have to play Arizona, a team that previously defeated four opponents that are ranked in the top ten and now is second in the country in scoring offense.

Arizona has a deep club that is operating at peak efficiency. They also have a potent offense. The Sun Devils’ defense is unable to keep them in the match as the Wildcats win the series for the seventh time in a row.

The #5 Arizona Wildcats will win to a predicted score of 81-75
