Best bets for Monday, March 2
The Big 12 has been the powerhouse of college basketball this season, and two of the conference’s very best will go head to head on Monday when the Arizona Wildcats host the Iowa State Cyclones. Respectively the No. 2 and No. 4 teams in the nation in last week’s soon-to-be-outdated AP Poll, both teams have Final Four aspirations. The Wildcats have rebounded from back-to-back losses with four straight wins, including victories over BYU, Houston and Kansas. Iowa State is .500 over its last four but has lost to respectable teams in BYU and Texas Tech. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has the Over hitting 66.2% of the time.
The Seattle Kraken are pushing for a spot in the top three in the NHL’s Pacific Division and sit just one point behind the Edmonton Oilers, but they’ll have a hard task on Monday as they host the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes lead the Metropolitan Division and have won five straight. Carolina points leader Sebastian Aho (59 points) has 18 more than Seattle’s leader, Jordan Eberle (41). The SportsLine model has the Kraken prevailing in 54% of its simulations.
