Jaden Bradley and the No. 1-seed Arizona Wildcats are facing their first real March Madness test this year tonight.
After breezing through the first two rounds with wins over Long Island University and Utah State, Tommy Lloyd’s club will take on Darius Acuff Jr.’s No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks in the Sweet 16.
Coming into the high-stakes contest, Arizona is predicted to win by 7.5 to 9.5 points by oddsmakers. However, that could all come crashing down if Acuff Jr. goes off like he did in the second round when he torched Cinderella squad High Point for 36 points on 11 of 22 shooting from the field.
