The Wildcats are slight road favourites in a game that has the makings of a defensive struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my college basketball same-game parlay Arizona vs. Kansas picks, featuring prop bets on Darryn Peterson and Koa Peat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Join NorthStar Bets to start betting on NCAA basketball<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arizona vs. Kansas picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SGP: Under 156.5 points | Peterson over 2.5 threes | Peat under 13.5 points (+540)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Under 156.5 points<\/strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-143):<\/strong> The Wildcats are comfortable in track meets and rock fights, and I think they&#8217;ll stumble into the latter tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, this game features two of the best defences in NCAA Division I. Arizona and Kansas rank second and seventh, respectively, in adjusted defensive efficiency at KenPom.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re also both in the top 30 in scoring defence, allowing fewer than 68.0 PPG apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, Arizona likes to play quickly \u2014 evidenced by their 25th-ranked adjusted tempo \u2014 but against an up-to-the-task Kansas defence, I think a more meticulous approach will be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">See player props for No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 11 Kansas<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unders are 6-1 in Kansas&#8217; past seven games and 16-7 on the season. As for Arizona, unders are 5-1 in the team&#8217;s past six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KenPom and BartTorkvik.com are both projecting a 147-point total for tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:123120\">Embed: #123120<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">College basketball prop pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Peterson over 2.5 threes <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-110):<\/strong> Though I don&#8217;t expect an offensive explosion tonight, I do like this price for Peterson to connect for a trio of 3s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arizona is among the best at clogging things up on the interior. The team is holding its opponents to a 43.1 2PT%, which is the third-lowest rate in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Wildcats allow a fair amount of 3-point attempts (37.1% of opposing shot attempts, which is 103rd-most out of 365 schools). So Peterson should be encouraged to get some deep shots up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Build your own college basketball SGPs &amp; bet on tonight&#8217;s action<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The freshman guard is a shoo-in to be a top-five NBA draft choice this summer, and he could easily go No. 1 overall.
