Arizona vs Princeton Prediction | March Madness Expert Picks
Many Arizona basketball fans felt they deserved a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. However, their inconsistency this college basketball season prevented this. Still, there is no doubt how good this Wildcats team can be, and we should get a taste of it in this first-round March Madness matchup against Princeton.
Look for Arizona to play fast and run up the score against Princeton in this game. However, will they be able to defend the Tigers enough to cover the spread? That is the big question, and I don’t feel comfortable betting on the point spread.
Instead, we are expecting a lot of points in this college basketball game. With both schools being able to score and the high pace we could see, we will side with the point total hitting the over.
Our college basketball betting Arizona vs Princeton prediction tonight will be the OVER hitting at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Arizona a 91.2% chance to win.
