Mandatory Credits: Images by James Carey Lauder-Imagn Rankings, blue blood men’s college basketball programs are often tangled during non-conference play.
Good places in the Northeast or Midwest usually host these games. On holiday, it can be tropical with lots of mai tais.
Saturday’s clash between No. 12 Duke and No. 17 Arizona is unique because it will be held on campus, at the Wildcats’ McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz.
“We’re still committed to high-quality home and home, and that’s not going to change,” Arizona basketball operations president Matt King said. “We don’t want season ticket holders to believe … that we’re not going to try to make sure there are some big games.”
If you were around the last time Arizona hosted Duke, in February 1991, you’re old enough to place a bet (and drink a mai tai) tonight. Let’s look at the Blue Devils-Wildcats as well as action in the NHL and college football.
WINNIPEG JETS AT PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
After losing back-to-back games for the first time this season, NHL points leader Winnipeg salvaged a home run against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday with a 6-3 win north of the border.
The game was a break in a stretch where the Jets have played nine of 10 on the road, where they are 7-2-0 to start the season.
Behind the co-point leader Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor (24 each), the Jets’ attack is dynamic, home or away. Winnipeg led the league with 80 goals and took on a Penguins club that produced an NHL-worst 81 goals as they struggled to maintain their lead.
Winnipeg won the first meeting between the clubs 6-3 in late October. The Jets will likely start backup goalie Eric Comrie as two division games loom after this, so expect something similar this time around. A goal from Pens’ Sidney Crosby will add to the intrigue as the 600th of the superstar’s career.
Both teams to score 3+ goals, +175 (BetMGM)

No. 24 UNLV at SAN JOSE STATE
If you were around the last time the Rebels won 10 games, you are old enough to be at least 40. UNLV has not completed the feat since 1984, but at 8-4 entering this Mountain West matchup, the program is closing in. .
Still alive for a crack at a rematch with No. 12 Boise State in the conference championship game, the Rebels need to keep winning and get outside help in the form of losing to Colorado State in one of the next two weeks.
Taking care of business against the Spartans won’t be easy. San Jose State quarterback Walker Eget has passed for 841 yards in the past two games, including 446 in last week’s 42-21 loss to Boise State, connecting often with the nation’s leading receiver, Nick Nash.
The relationship between Rebel quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams and wideout Ricky White III is also solid. Williams is also a dual-threat, rushing for eight touchdowns to go with his 14 passing TDs. Let’s go yard and score on this one.

No. 12 DUKE AT NO. 17 ARIZONA
It’s something to think that the NCAA universally adopted the three-point line less than five years before the most recent Duke-Arizona game in Tucson. It was April 1986, to be exact.
Shooting is now a staple for many offenses and often affects results if teams aren’t careful—or versatile.
Duke went just 4-for-24 from deep on Nov. 12, a neutral-court loss to then-No. 19 Kentucky but only lost by five. So while the Blue Devil could live with the three, he didn’t have to die.
Their enthusiasm and percentages increased on Nov. 16 when they visited Wofford. Sparked by separate 4-for-7 efforts from Tyrese Proctor and Isaiah Evans, Duke was 16-for-38 from long range and won 86-35.
Arizona struggled to defend 3, which figure was its undoing. The Wildcats have been idle since November 15 in Wisconsin (jumping around for another showdown on campus!), when they allowed the Badgers to connect on 12-of-27 treys while hitting just 4-23. Wisconsin won 103-88.
