Arizona/Oregon play. . .

[Nickelback]

Going against my team today as an opinion play (cannot bet money against Arizona) because I think Lute will do exactly what he did against Oregon State: allow his reserves to play significant minutes in order to try and get them some last minute experience heading into the tournament. An example of this was Rodgers playing some incredible minutes against Oregon State. . . Lute could care less about blowing out the Beavers and instead worked on different teams on the floor to see what worked and what didn't.

Even if Arizona is up by double digits with a few minutes to play, I can see them giving up a few points because it is the last home game of the year and we should see a couple scrubs walk in for fun if Arizona is comfortably ahead.

Oregon +14 looks pretty good

Couldn't have said it better Nickel. However you know Salim is gonna be jacked up today, he may be the X factor. If he has a rebound game like he did vs Kansas he could put this game in the bag.
But I agree, I see us maybe even being up once by the spread but then have a little let down and win this in the 8-12 point range.

Watching the Kentucky/Florida game by any chance? Kentucky looks very scary. If Arizona is careless handling the ball against this team, they would be in trouble. Would be a great matchup.

Yeah I have thought that all season. I know there was a thread about UofA vs Oklahoma, not saying we would blow out Oklahoma, but I think playing UK would be a better match-up. Going into FLA and taking advantage of every FLA mistake is impressive. Hopefully if we play them it'll be in APRIL!

on Oregon. Also think this game goes over by 10-15 points due to the same reasons you give. Arizona will assert themselves early on, then the second half turns into a wide open game with lots of substituting by Lute. Final score - Arizona 92 Oregon 80
