Oakland is 4-2 over their last six games, and on a 3-1 ATS run. They won't snap Arizona's 28-game home court winning streak tonight, but this is a good team under coach Greg Kampe. Oakland has a terrific frontcourt force in 6-10 senior Corey Petros (16.3 points per game, 8.4 rebounds per game) and sophomore guard Kahlil Felder (15.3 ppg), the latter who dishes out 7.3 assists per contest. Throw in 6-8 junior Tommie McCune (12.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg) and this is a strong front line. Oakland is #64 in the nation in scoring (75.3 ppg) and #19 in assists while shooting 47% as a team. Arizona has its second big test on deck, a two-game road trip at UTEP and UNLV, part of a stretch of playing four of five away, making this a great spot for the undervalued big dog. Take the points on Oakland.
