So the way Vegas sets lines for college hoops games these days generally aligns with KenPom projections. KenPom projected SC to win this game by 7. But USC came into the game hot and Arizona came in having lost 4 of 5; plus, SC beat Arizona by 14 at McHale.
The odds makers set the line at 8. But it easily could have been SC by 10.
But in the last 48 hours a bunch of money came in for Arizona, moving the line to 5.
That is super odd. Why such a big bet on a reeling Zona team?
It seems like someone knew something. SC looked woefully unprepared for the game, almost as if Arizona had not been scouted.
