Arizona vs. Arizona State Prediction, Odds and Key Players to Watch for Saturday, Jan. 31

The battle of Arizona is set to take place for the second time this season. The Arizona Wildcats were massive favorites against the Arizona State Sun Devils back on January 14, and while they ended up winning the game by a final score of 89-82, they failed to cover the spread.

Arizona is still one of just two undefeated teams left in college basketball when they face Arizona State in a rematch this afternoon. Can the Sun Devils hand the Wildcats their first loss of the season? Let's find out what the oddsmakers think.

Arizona vs. Arizona State Key Player to Watch

Maurice Odum, G - Arizona State Sun Devils

Maurice Odum is leading the Sun Devils in both points per game (17.2) and assists per game (6.6), which tells us that the Arizona State offense goes through him. Not only that, but he almost dragged Arizona State to a big upset win against the Wildcats just a few short weeks ago, scoring 23 points along with seven assists. If he has another performance like that in the rematch, Arizona State is going to have a chance to pull off the upset.

Arizona vs. Arizona State Prediction and Pick

Arizona State was able to take Arizona down to the wire in the first game between these two teams, but I don't expect a similar result in the rematch. The Sun Devils' defense has a ton of issues, ranking 252nd in defensive efficiency, while the Wildcats rank ninth.

Not only that, but Arizona attacks its opponents' interior, and that's exactly where Arizona State is weak. The Sun Devils rank 261st in opponent two-point field goal percentage, allowing teams to shoot 53.7% from two-point range. If they can't slow down Arizona's offense attack, it's going to be a long game for the Sun Devils.

I'll lay the points with the Wildcats in the rematch.
