Many remember the Belmont Bruins giving a then No. 2 seed Duke fits in a 1-point near-miss as a No. 15 seed. This team has put up 26 wins on the season, but the problem is that they simply lack the big time player inside that can get them out of trouble if the shots aren't falling. The Wildcats are a good shooting team with their top seven scorers all shooting 41% or better from the floor. And, they have too much team depth for Belmont to get the upset here. The Bruins have really taken a tumble on a neutral court where they are a woeful 3-13 ATS in their last 16. The Wildcats, a prominent tourney fixture, are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games in the Big Dance. Play on Arizona. Also take the UNDER. Arizona's road games this season averaged just 134.7. When they faced a winning team, the Cats' games went 12-5 UNDER this season. Over the past two seasons, Arizona is 14-3 UNDER vs. teams like Belmont that allow 64 or fewer points per game. In the Sean Miller era, the Wildcats are 26-16 UNDER on the road vs. good teams (those outscoring opponents by 4+ points per game). Go with Arizona and the UNDER here.
