Taking ARIZONA. This is a very good team. If they were at full strength they would be the hands down favorite to win this thing. But they aren't. But they still have a great team. We have a pair of the top defensive teams in the country. Arizona has much more athletic and the better scoring options. That is the difference here. The Aztecs rely entirely too much on Xavier Thames. One man isn't good enough to bring down this Wildcats team. I don't care that this is almost a 'home' game for San Diego State. Because, back in November when they played at home, the Aztecs still lost 69-60. I expect more of the same here with the better team prevailing. 5* Best Bet ARIZONA
