Texas A&M-Corpus Christi @ No. 9 Arizona
Current Records: Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 5-4; Arizona 8-1
What to Know
The #9 Arizona Wildcats will square off against the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders at 8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday at McKale Memorial Center. Arizona is out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.
The Wildcats had enough points to win and then some against the Indiana Hoosiers this past Saturday, taking their contest 89-75. Arizona relied on the efforts of forward Azuolas Tubelis, who had 21 points in addition to seven boards and three blocks, and center Oumar Ballo, who posted a double-double on 15 points and 12 rebounds.
Meanwhile, the sound you heard last week was the absolute smackdown Texas A&M-Corpus Christi laid on the Texas Lutheran Bulldogs.
Arizona is the favorite in this one, with an expected 23-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread this past Saturday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
The wins brought Arizona up to 8-1 and the Islanders to 5-4. The Wildcats are 6-1 after wins this season, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 2-2.
