SAN DIEGO—Arizona will be getting a little extra rest before its next NCAA Tournament game.
The top-seeded Wildcats’ matchup with No. 9 Utah State is set for a 4:50 p.m. PT tip on Sunday night, with the game airing on TruTV. Arizona’s first round game against Long Island tipped off in the morning.
Arizona, fresh off a 92-58 win over No. 16 Long Island, has opened as an 11.5-point
favorite against the ninth-seeded Aggies, per FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under is 155.5.
Utah State (29-6) knocked off No. 8 Villanova in the first round Friday, advancing to a second NCAA game for just the third time in school history. The Aggies are underdogs for just the third time this season, winning at New Mexico in February and losing at South Florida in December.
The 11.5-point spread is the largest for Arizona for a second-round NCAA game since 1998 when it was favored by 15.5 against Illinois State and won by 33.
The Arizona/Utah State winner moves on to the West Region semifinals Thursday in San Jose, Calif., against the winner of Saturday night’s game between No. 4 Arkansas and No. 12 High Point
