*8* play on California.

The Arizona Wildcats will be a slight favorite on the road in California on Saturday, but it's not going to be easy facing Cal. The Bears are still undefeated at home, with a 12-0 record. The Wildcats have already lost a couple of road games to division rivals at USC and UCLA. I'll take the home team with the points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Bears are averaging 78.2 points on 48.3 percent shooting at home, and they have owned the boards averaging almost 40 rebounds. They have covered the spread in four of their last five at home.

2. Alonzo Trier - Arizona's freshman guard was averaging 19.3 points per game in conference play, but suffered a broken hand in the loss to USC on January 9th. He's expected to be out for at least six weeks.

3. X-Factor - The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in this series.

Selection: This is a play on the Cal Golden Bears (8*)
