Arizona are backed to cover as they advance in March Madness.

The Wildcats just won their conference championship and are several levels above any team that Princeton have faced this season.

Arizona have covered in 3 of their last 4 games at neutral venues
Princeton have not covered against a ranked team for over a decade

Arizona won 54-41 when the teams last met in December 1985

Princeton Form

Princeton compiled a 19-8 regular season record before on to win the Ivy League conference tournament.

The Tigers suffered several defeats in the second half of the regular season, but were able to wrap things up on a high with 58-56 win at Harvard and a 77-69 overtime win at home to Pennsylvania.

They extended their win streak to four games in the conference tournament, claiming the honours.

Princeton downed Pennsylvania 77-70 in the semi-finals to set up a meeting with a Yale team they lost two twice during the regular season.

The Tigers got their revenge in the Ivy League conference tournament final though, running out 74-65 winners.

Arizona Form

Arizona put together a 25-6 regular season record, and then went on to win the Pac-12 Conference Championship tournament.

The Wildcats’ regular season record would have been considerably better had they not gone 3-3 in their last six games.

That dip in form included an 82-73 defeat at #4 UCLA in their regular season finale.

Arizona rebounded in the conference tournament as they first ousted Stanford 95-84, andt the downed Arizona State 78-59.

That set up a revenge mission with UCLA, now ranked #2, in the final, and the Wildcats came out on top, wining 61-59.

Arizona have stacked up a few losses, but not enough to make us doubt them here.
