Uncover the Unexpected Picks That Could Shock the Conference Tournament This Saturday!
_____________________________
Simply put, the Wildcats should go into the 2026 NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed, and they are at least 4 points better than the Cougars on a neutral floor. Arizona smacked Houston 73-66 on the road during the regular season. The 7-point margin doesn’t look like a smacking, but the Wildcats outperformed the Cougars in all “four factors”.Â
Arizona is bigger at every position, has higher rebounding rates on both ends of the floor, and shoots better: 55.1-52.2% in eFG%. Houston has the edge in playoff experience. However, the Cougars haven’t won a title under head coach Kelvin Sampson. They are 3-7 ATS vs. ranked teams and 3-5 ATS on neutral floors, while the Wildcats are 9-4 ATS and 5-1 ATS in those spots.Â
