The Alabama vs Arizona odds for this game clearly favor the Wildcats, but you should expect to see a tight battle in this game. This is going to be one of the best games on the NCAAB schedule on Wednesday night, and it will play out that way on the court.
Even though this game is not going to have any impact on the NCAAB standings in either the Pac-12 or SEC, this is still going to be a big win for the victors. The over/under line for this game is way too high, even if you look at the NCAAB team stats for both Alabama and Arizona.
There is going to be some defense played in this game, and Alabama will actually be coming up with some big stops. Ultimately, Arizona is going to win this game, but taking the 7.5 points and backing Alabama is the way to go.

Betting Preview
Crimson Tide Rolling on Offense
The Alabama Crimson Tide odds to win the national championship are not nearly as good now as they were to begin the regular season. Alabama is scoring 92.1 points per game this season, but they are also allowing 77.6 points per game on the other end of the floor.
NCAAB injuries have already had an impact on the 2023-24 season for Alabama, but that doesn’t explain why this team can’t defend. The Crimson Tide want to push the tempo on offense, but at some point they have to get some stops as well.
Guard Mark Sears is one of the top NCAAB players and he is leading this team with 21.2 points per game this season.
Wildcats Can Get Stops
The Arizona Wildcats have actually been a better offensive team than Alabama this season as they are scoring 92.9 points per game. Arizona is much more efficient on offense that Alabama is, but they are also a team that wants to try to push the tempo on the break.
Caleb Love is having a huge season for Arizona after transferring from North Carolina and he is averaging 15.8 points per game this season. While Love tends to set the tone on offense for the Wildcats, there are a ton of great scoring options.
Arizona did have a miserable time trying to guard Purdue in their most recent game, and that defense will need to step up in a major way in this game. The Wildcats are one of the top picks to win the Final Four for a reason, but this is going to be a major test for them in every way.
