- Analysis
- West Regional Semifinals from Los Angeles, CA has Clemson taking on Arizona. Clemson has won both NCAA games with wins over New Mexico, 77-56, as a 2-point dog and then Sunday over Baylor, 72-64, as a 4.5-point dog. Those two wins snapped a two-game losing streak by the Tigers. Clemson is now 23-11 S/U and 19-14-1 overall on the season. They average 77.2 ppg while allowing 70.6 ppg. The Tigers won both NCAA games holding their opponents to just 29.7% and 38.9% from the field. Against New Mexico they held the Lobos to just 13% from the 3-point arc. The Tigers are now 4-1 S/U and 2-3 ATS in their five tourney games this year. The Arizona Wildcats improved to 27-8 on the season with a pair of NCAA tourney wins. They beat Long Beach State, 85-65 in their first round as a 20-point favorite. Then they won in the 2nd round over Dayton, 78-68, as a 8.5-point favorite. These wins coming on the heel of their PAC-12 conference tourney loss to Oregon, 58-67. The Wildcats average 87.6 ppg while allowing 71.9 ppg. They are also 3-1 S/U and 2-1-1 ATS in their four tourney games this year. Clemson getting around 7-points in this matchup. I like the dog and will take those points with Clemson.
