UC is looking at its shortest betting spread of the season on Saturday. The Bearcats are 3.5-point betting favorites over Arizona as of this writing. The point total is set at 147.5 points.

UC has been favored in every game it's played this season and this marks a tie with Dayton for the lowest spread they've had to cover yet against an Arizona team rated higher than them in the NET and on KenPom.

The Bearcats are now 6-6 against the spread this season after the Kansas State loss and 10-2 straight up, while AU is 5-7 ATS and 7-5 straight up on the campaign. It's a something's gotta give situation with the point total. Cincinnati is 2-10 to the over this season, while AU games are 7-5 to the over with their high-powered offense.
