Michigan and Arizona arrive on college basketball‘s biggest stage via different routes, but with the same quiet certainty: they believe they’re the best team left standing. So, who’s favored to win in this pivotal clash of NCAA tournament top-seeds?

Michigan vs Arizona – who’s favored?

Michigan (35-3) is a narrow betting favorite over Arizona (36-2) in Saturday’s upcoming national semifinal. However, the margin is small here. The point spread is currently just 1.5 points (as of Monday afternoon – odds subject to change), and the moneyline prices indicate a tight one too, with the Wolverines at just -125 and Arizona at +100.

This is close to a pick ’em bet.

  • Point Spread: Michigan -1.5, Arizona +1.5
  • Moneyline: Michigan -125, Arizona +100
  • Point Total: over/under 157.5

We’ll keep an eye on these lines as the week progresses.
