On Saturday, February 26, Arizona will travel to Boulder, Colorado to take on Colorado for the second time this season. They last played on January 13 and Arizona won 76-55.
Arizona (25-2, 15-1) has been phenomenal all season long. They are ranked #2 in the country as they sit at 25-2. They have just one conference loss and that was to a tough UCLA team. The Wildcats are led by Benedict Mathurin who could be a lottery pick this year. He’s averaging 17.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
Colorado (18-10, 10-8) has been up and down this season, but are actually playing their best basketball of late. They’ve won five of their last six games. Their record is 18-9 which gives them a shot at making the NCAA Tournament. A win against Arizona would be a huge boost for them. Their leading scorer is Jabari Walker who is averaging 14.5 points and 9.2 rebounds.

The Pick
Arizona -9.5
The ‘Cats have only covered four times during their nine-game winning streak, but they’ll get to .500 in their last 10 ATS against a team that turns it over more than 20% of the time. Just too much length and athleticism, even in the Boulder elevation.
