What to Know
The Arizona Wildcats will square off against the #4 Michigan Wolverines at 9:30 p.m. ET on Sunday at T-Mobile Arena.
Arizona sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 82-78 win over the Wichita State Shockers this past Friday. Four players on the Wildcats scored in the double digits: guard Bennedict Mathurin (25), forward Azuolas Tubelis (16), center Christian Koloko (13), and guard Kerr Kriisa (12).
Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the matchup between Michigan and the UNLV Rebels this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as the Wolverines wrapped it up with a 74-61 victory on the road.
Arizona is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. If their 3-1 record against the spread is anything to go by, the prospects look good for bets placed on them.
Their wins bumped Arizona to 4-0 and Michigan to 4-1. This past Friday the Wildcats relied heavily on Bennedict Mathurin, who posted a double-double on 25 points and ten boards. It will be up to Michigan’s defense to limit his damage.
