Analysis
Arizona is coming into this game with a 8-0 record this season and they have been great all season. They are coming off of a 97-68 win at home against a ranked Auburn team and they have multiple ranked wins this season, beating Auburn, UCLA, UConn, and Florida. Their defense has been great as they have not allowed 70 points in each of their last 2 as well as 6 of their last 7 games, and their offense has been on fire recently as they have scored 97+ points in each of their last 3 games. They are going up against an Alabama team that is 7-2 this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 4 straight games with some dominant wins in that span, but they did have a weaker schedule in that span with their strongest opponent being Clemson who they only beat by 6. Their defense has also been awful this season as they have allowed 80+ points in 5 of their last 8 games and that is going to be the difference in this game. Arizona has the offense to score against Alabama and their defense has been much better in recent games as well. Alabama also struggled a lot in their only 3 games against ranked opponents, losing to Purdue and Gonzaga while beating Illinois by 4 points. Arizona will cover the spread in this game.
