Michigan vs Arizona best bets
Arizona moneyline
In a game expected to come down to the wire, Rohit Ponnaiya is backing the Arizona Wildcats to come out on top.
“Both teams have terrific bigs and love to attack inside. However, they also defend at an elite level on the interior, so that matchup looks like a wash.
This will come down to perimeter play, and the Wildcats are more comfortable in the midrange and boast the superior backcourt with Jaden Bradley and Brayden Burries.”
Over 157.5
Ponnaiya is also expecting plenty of points when the Wildcats and Michigan Wolverines clash.
“Michigan is 14th in the country in average possession length, while Arizona is 50th. With both teams pushing the pace and boasting plenty of offensive firepower, I anticipate the Over 157.5 cashing.”
Michigan vs Arizona same-game parlay
Ponnaiya also has an SGP built around his best bet:
“This game will be played at a blistering tempo, and Arizona’s highly-efficient offense has cleared its team total in eight of its last 12 games.
Arizona can force Aday Mara into high pick-and-rolls, a strategy Purdue used to expose Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament. The Wildcats can also score in transition, which is an area in which the Wolverines were rarely tested during conference play.
With Mara protecting the rim, Arizona will lean on Burries to carry the offense with his mid-range game and perimeter scoring. He’s dropped 18+ points in seven of the last 11 contests and has been Arizona’s go-to scorer in big games.”
Michigan vs Arizona props
Jaden Bradley Over 4.5 assists
Chris Hatfield expects Jaden Bradley to rack up the dimes in this Final Four tilt.
“Jaden Bradley will have plenty of opportunities off drives when he attracts extra defenders, doing one of the things he does best: facilitating under pressure. Nobody attacks the rim very efficiently against the Wolverines, outside an elite few teams, because they can’t stand up to their physicality. The Wildcats are one of those exceptions.”
