Why you should back Arizona
After winning the Pac-12 in its final season, Arizona prepped for the Big 12 with a difficult non-conference schedule and got off to a sluggish 4-5 start. However, the Wildcats have rebounded to win seven of their first eight in Big 12 play and they’re coming off a 78-63 win over Colorado on Saturday.
Anthony Dell’Orso led the team with 20 points in the victory and Tobe Awaka put in a hard day’s work on the glass with 15 rebounds. Arizona has now covered the spread in five of its last seven games and the Tommy Lloyd’s group is also on a seven-game home winning streak. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Iowa State
The Cyclones are coming off a 29-win season where they finished second in the Big 12 and made a strong NCAA tournament run, but T.J. Otzelberger’s squad has even loftier ambitions for 2024-25 and they’re off to a great start. They had a solid showing at the Maui Invitational — their only loss came in a one-possession game against No. 1 Auburn — and also had a home win over No. 5 Marquette.
Now they’re tied for second in the Big 12 standings with the Wildcats (behind only Houston) and they’re coming off a 76-61 win over Arizona State in Tempe on Saturday. Curtis Jones dropped 33 points in the victory and Joshua Jefferson had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. See which team to pick here.
