The 17th-ranked Arizona Wildcats and third-ranked Arizona State Sun Devils are set to battle Saturday in Tucson at 7 p.m. MST in a highly-anticipated rivalry game.
KenPom projects Arizona will win 85-80 with a 66 percent win probability.

I don’t see how this won’t be a high-scoring game, but I never pick against Arizona in McKale, hence my selection here.
This is a really intriguing matchup, though. How will Arizona defend ASU’s guards? How will ASU defend UA’s oversized frontcourt?
