Arizona at Stanford

This is an important PAC-12 showdown, so both teams will bring their best defense. Stanford has continued to overcome the loss of freshman Reid Travis, who three weeks ago was sidelined due a stress fracture in his upper leg. The Cardinal is holding opponents to 60 points or less in four games. Travis (6.9 rebounds per game) was the Cardinals' leading rebounder at the time of his injury, but others have picked up the slack. Over the last six games, three players are averaging at least 6.0 boards: Stefan Nastic (8.8), Anthony Brown (8.3) and Rosco Allen (6.8). Stanford recently outrebounded Connecticut 48-24. The Wildcats know they have to perform better on the road and I think this game gets their attention and they bring their "A" game as a loss would drop them to 5-3 away from home. Under Sean Miller, this Cats team is 45-30 ATS following a game in which they allowed 60 or fewer points. Stanford is 7-1 UNDER the total at home and when these teams meet the UNDER is 4-1, so look for a defensive battle. Arizona is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total and 9-4 UNDER against a team with a winning percentage above .600.  Take Arizona and the UNDER.
