(4) Arizona takes on (13) Akron tonight in a first-round matchup that should be a comfortable win for the Wildcats.
This marks Akron’s third NCAA Tournament appearance in the past four years. The previous two ended in first-round exits — and tonight is unlikely to be any different.
Look for Arizona senior guard Caleb Love to rise to the occasion, just as he did in the Big 12 Tournament semifinal against Texas Tech, where he dropped 27 points on 66.7% shooting.
The winner of tonight’s game will face the victor of the Oregon–Liberty matchup.
