NCAAB: Thursday's play

Play: Arizona -5.5 -110

Time: 10:30 p.m. ET


Reasoning: Oregon is 10-1 at home, but its schedule ranks 252nd out of 351 teams. In three of the Ducks' last four games they needed overtime to dispatch UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara and Delaware State (a 23.5-point underdog) played them even in the second half before losing by 13. Oregon is 1-2 ATS as an underdog. The No. 6 Wildcats are outscoring opponents by 16.6 ppg. They are shooting 50.1% from the field and are allowing just 59.5 ppg. Arizona's Stanley Johnson and Rondae Hollis-Johnson are NBA prospects and they have combined for 25.8 ppg and 13.3 rpg. Oregon shoots and hits a lot of three-pointers, but Wildcats opponents have connected on just 31.8% of their shots from behind the arc (27.5% in the last five contests). And Arizona has the advantage in rebounds and steals.

Record: 240-186-8 (56.3%)
Bankroll: +115.74%
