00:00 We roll on to a Thursday night in college hoops.
00:06 Arizona now drops all the way to 10th in the country.
00:10 A loss to Purdue a few weekends ago when they were number one in the land,
00:14 and then upset last weekend by Stanford who, oh by the way, went to Pauley Pavilion last night
00:20 and won outright against UCLA as a four and a half point five point underdog.
00:25 Arizona hoping to bounce back back in Tucson late on this Thursday evening,
00:30 9 30 p.m. Eastern Time tip.
00:31 Donnie Rightside will check the box score tomorrow morning.
00:34 The Wildcats a 12 and a half point favorite against Colorado.
00:38 The over under 159 and a half.
00:40 Now the buffs have been better than many expected.
00:44 Floating with the top 25 for a lot of this season, but a 12 and a half point spread.
00:49 Hefty in favor of the Cats working in Arizona's way,
00:53 as you can see from where it was earlier this morning.
00:55 Donnie Yeah, take a look at Colorado on offense 29th in the country and adjusted
00:59 efficiency on defense 28th.
01:01 So two top 30 sides there.
01:02 That's pretty impressive.
01:03 But Arizona, however, take a look at this top 10 in both of those categories and actually
01:07 number seven in the country and adjusted efficiency on defense and also number seven in adjusted
01:12 efficiency on offense.
01:13 Here's where the game is going to come down to.
01:15 When you look at Colorado's offense, it's really good.
01:17 Effective field goal percentage, which puts a lot of the equation and how you get your
01:21 rebounds, how many turnovers that you have, you do turn it over a little bit too high
01:24 here for Colorado.
01:25 We'll see if Arizona can take advantage of it.
01:27 But how about this top 10 in shooting the three point shot here for the Colorado Buffaloes
01:32 at 41% as a team that's 7th over on the country.
01:35 Say, oh, that's the chance that you can win where you're an underdog.
01:38 If you can make your three point shots.
01:40 Here's the issue, Ben.
01:41 You take a look at how many shots they take from three point range, right?
01:44 Hey, I shot 50% from three.
01:45 Let's say is that good?
01:46 Yeah, brother, you went one for two.
01:48 Congratulations.
01:49 That's not exactly you went 10 for 20 and sort of stacking up the points here.
01:52 The reason I bring that up is you take a look at three 31st in the country at volume at
01:58 shooting the three point shot.
01:59 So if Colorado was top 10 at making them a top 10 and shooting them, watch out.
02:02 They just take enough three point shots in my mind.
02:05 Arizona should be able to win this game.
02:06 And then again, probably should get the cover here.
