Should Arizona vs Oregon State be a one-sided beatdown? Yes. But Arizona has continually proven that it cannot be trusted as a favorite, as the Wildcats are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games when they close at minus-points. The Wildcats will be 6-point road faves when they visit the Beavers on Thursday night.
- The total has gone UNDER in Arizona’s last 5 games against Oregon State.
- Oregon State is 1-6-1 ATS in its last 8 games against the Pac-12.
- Arizona is 11-1 SU in its last 12 games against Oregon State.
After a rough two-game skid to start February, Arizona has rattled off back-to-back wins thanks to an improved defense. Sean Miller’s team has held its last two opponents to 68.5 points per game and a 43.4 shooting percentage. The frontcourt duo of Deandre Ayton and Dusan Ristic have been playing well on both ends with the pair of seven-footers averaging a combined 34.5 points and 21.3 rebounds per game in Arizona’s past four contests.
Oregon State mercifully returns to Corvallis for this game after losing back-to-back road contests, extending a road losing streak to eight games. However, the Beavers offense has been deadly at Gil Coliseum with the team averaging 95.5 points in its past two at home. Play from the tandem of Tres Tinkle and Drew Eubanks will be critical, as the forwards pace Oregon State in rebounds while sitting first and third in points, respectively.
