The Arizona Wildcats have been steamrolling Northern Arizona, which should not be much of a surprise, but inflated spreads have caused bettors to avoid the chalk. Arizona is 2-4-1 ATS in their past seven contests against Northern Arizona despite averaging a 19.4 point margin of victory in that span.
- Arizona has won the past two games against NAU by a combined 76 points.
- NAU’s two wins this season have come against D-II opponents.
- The OVER is 6-3 in Arizona’s past nine home games.
Inconsistency continues to plague the Wildcats this season as they opened their season winning their first four games by nearly 20 points per game, but then needed overtime to beat Santa Clara and lost to Providence. The last four games have seen freshman Allonzo Trier start to round into form as he has averaged 17.3 points on 70 percent shooting.
NAU has not picked up a win in Tucson since 1966 and they're yet to win a true road game this season. The Lumberjacks do offer some offensive depth, with four players averaging double-digit points this season.
