*8* MASSACRE on Arizona.

The Arizona Wildcats are coming off a 68-59 win over Boise State, finishing third in the Wooden Legacy. They face a much tougher test this Saturday, playing on the road at Gonzaga. The Bulldogs have looked vulnerable though, losing to Texas A&M, and they followed that up by winning close games against Connecticut and Washington State. I'll take the visitors getting points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1,. Previous History - The Wildcats have been a good bet on the road, covering the spread in four of their last five away from home. They've also covered in four of their last five versus a team with a winning record.

2. Free Throws - With the officials calling the games a little tighter early in the season, many games are being decided at the free throw line. The Wildcats have been slightly more accurate than the Bulldogs, hitting 69.7 percent, compared to Gonzaga's 64.9 percent.

3, X-Factor - The Bulldogs are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Selection: This is a play on the Arizona Wildcats (8*)
