Arizona vs. BYU Prediction, Odds for College Basketball on Monday, Jan. 26

The Arizona Wildcats' undefeated season remains intact, blowing past West Virginia on the weekend. That spotless record is in danger on Monday night when they take on arguably the next best team in the Big 12, the BYU Cougars.

BYU beat Utah on Saturday and is now looking to get its biggest win of the season against the No. 1-ranked team in the country.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this Big 12 showdown.

Arizona vs. BYU Key Player to Watch

Koa Peat, F - Arizona Wildcats

Koa Peat is the Wildcats' leading scorer, averaging 14.7 points per game, but his defensive play may be even more important in this game. He is likely going to be tasked with defending AJ Dybantsa, who is one of the best players in the country. If Peat can slow down Dybantsa, who is averaging 23.6 points per game, Arizona is going to have a great chance to win this game and keep its undefeated record intact.

BYU's shooting numbers have fallen off lately, which should raise some concern for Cougars' fans. Their effective field goal percentage has dropped 8.3% over their past three games compared to their season average. Now, they have to host the best team in the country.

Arizona ranks seventh in offensive efficiency, fifth in defensive efficiency, and 14th in effective possession ratio. BYU is 20th, 23rd, and 53rd in those three metrics. I'm surprised the better team is just a 1.5-point favorite, even if this is a road game for Arizona.
