Senior forward Tres Trinkle had a productive outing for the Beavers as he pitched in 10 points and 13 rebounds.

The Arizona Wildcats have one of the most talented rosters in the country, but they are also one of the youngest teams in the country which has led to an inconsistent season (8-4 in Pac-12 games). The Wildcats are finally starting to buy into the Sean Miller system as they have won 5 of their last 6 games, and they will have a chance to expand their winning ways against a struggling Oregon State program (5-8). Arizona is one of the top-scoring teams in the country as they are averaging 78 PPG, and freshman forward Zeke Nnaji is one of the best forwards in the Pac-12 as he is averaging 16.6 PPG and 8.8 RPG. The Oregon State Beavers have underperformed on both sides of the court in conference games as they rank 9th in points scored and points allowed, and that won’t bode well on the road where Arizona is 11-2 this season. Final Score Prediction, Arizona Wildcats win and cover ATS 75-60.
