Arizona is entering this game with a 24-7 record overall, a 15-5 conference record, and they are 2-2 in their neutral site games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming off a win against the USC Trojans in their last game. KJ Lewis led the team in points in that game with 15 while Jaden Bradley was next on the team with 12.

The current betting odds have Arizona listed as a 10.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona has looked great in their games this season with their 24-7 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country and also ranked inside the top 10. They have looked great in the Pac-12 this year with their 15-5 conference record which leads the way, but they are only 2-2 in their neutral site games this season. Meanwhile, Oregon has looked good in their games this season with their 20-11 record overall and their 12-8 conference record which has them near the top of the Pac-12. Even though they are near the top, they really haven't been as good as the top teams in the conference this season and they have been terrible in their neutral site games too, going 1-3 in those. They managed to beat UCLA in the last round but they are only 3-2 in their last 5 games while Arizona has been the hotter team with their 4-1 record in their last 5 games. Arizona is also going to have a ton of momentum here since they just got revenge on USC in the last round for that loss they took at the end of the regular season, and now Arizona will be looking to carry that momentum through the rest of the tournament as they still have a chance to earn the number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona to cover the spread in this game.

"We know what's in front of us. Arizona's a good basketball team, I can't sugar-coat that — they beat us twice. … We know the position we've put ourselves in. We gotta swing away and try to make something happen tomorrow against a really good team." - Dana Altman after his team’s win against UCLA in their last game on Thursday.

“Late in the year, we were playing pretty good. We'd wrapped up the (regular season) Pac-12 championship and maybe we let our guard down a little bit and got exposed and our guys battled. It's kind of nice when you can have a week of preparation when you're on edge a little bit, and I think it sets up well. But you know what, (Friday) whatever time we play, you've got to be ready to roll.” - Tommy Lloyd after his team’s win against USC in their last game on Thursday.
