Texas-Arlington vs Arizona Prediction
The current betting odds have Arizona listed as a 24.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona has looked really good this season with their 4-0 record overall and their 3-0 home record. They are ranked as the 3rd best team in the country and they will be looking to continue proving themselves by disposing of these weaker teams easily. UT Arlington hasn't been bad this season with their 2-1 record overall, but their 1 loss this year did come in their only road game and they don't have the talent that Arizona has either. UT Arlington isn't going to stop Arizona from putting up points on their home court here and Arizona has also done a really good job defending against these weaker teams too. Arizona will dispose of UT Arlington with no problem and this game will be like every other home game Arizona has played and blown out a weaker opponent in. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
"We had a chance at the end of the game, but we made so many mistakes throughout the night. We had four technical fouls, which is just absolutely unacceptable, and those came back to cost us. New Mexico is a good team, but we've got to get better. We're going to fight until the end no matter what the score is; that's just our DNA." - KT Turner after his team’s loss against UNM in their last game on Thursday.
“I was really proud of the effort he was playing with. I felt like he was really establishing a standard of effort for him that was higher than he had done previously. I told him if you stay true to that, your moments are going to come and they did tonight.” - Tommy Lloyd after his team’s win against Belmont in their last game on Friday.
