Three things to watch in Indiana vs. Arizona

1. Battle of the bigs

It's no secret that Indiana wants to run it offense through Trayce Jackson-Davis, who's coming off a triple-double against Nebraska. Race Thompson, Jordan Geronimo and Malik Reneau complete a formidable front court that combines for 37.6 points and 20.1 rebounds per game.

Arizona gets all that production from two players. Azuolas Tubelis, a 6-foot-11 junior from Lithuania, and Oumar Ballo, a 7-foot redshirt junior from Mali, combine for 39.2 points and 17.6 rebounds per game. This duo powers Arizona to 91.5 points per game, which ranks second in the nation. 

2. Inconsistent guard play

Arizona point guard Kerr Kriisa got off to a hot start, shooting 14-for-21, or 66.6 percent, from 3 in the first four games, including a triple-double against Southern. But in the last four games, Kriisa is 4-for-23 on 3-pointers. He had 21 points against San Diego State, 13 points and nine assists in the Maui Invitational Championship win over Creighton but only 10 points across two Pac-12 games.

Indiana has experienced similar up-and-down play with point guard Xavier Johnson. His two best games have come during Indiana's two biggest wins – a 23-point effort at Xavier, followed by 20 points and eight assists against North Carolina. In the last two games, however, Johnson is shooting 4-for-19 from the field. Which version of Kriisa and Johnson shows up on Saturday will go a long way in determining the outcome. 

3. Easy buckets

Saturday's matchup projects to be a high-scoring affair with the over/under set at 157 points. That's because Indiana and Arizona score at a more efficient rate than most this season. Arizona leads the nation with a 55.2 field goal percentage, and Indiana is third at 52.2 percent. 

Arizona second in adjusted offensive efficiency behind Purdue, but the KenPom computers don't like Indiana as much, slotting the Hoosiers at No. 27 in this category. Arizona plays fast and Mike Woodson wants too, as well, creating an exciting matchup in Las Vegas.
