Washington at UCLA Prediction

UCLA has been struggling lately and is coming off two straight losses. Its offense couldn’t hit anything against Arizona and its defense couldn’t stop USC. Now back at home, this is a great spot for the Bruins to bounce back against a Washington team that they already beat this season by 25. UCLA held the Huskies to just 8% shooting from 3 (2-for-25). While I don’t expect Washington to shoot that poorly again, the Bruins do have the fourth-best defense in college basketball for a reason. Offensively, UCLA is the best team in the Pac-12 at pulling down offensive boards and getting to the free-throw line, both of which are areas that the Huskies struggle in defending. This should be an easy win and cover for the home team. 

My pick: UCLA -17.5

Charleston at Drexel Prediction

Charleston heads to Drexel tonight fresh off its first loss in 20 games. That snapped what was the longest active win streak in Division I basketball. I often like to fade teams immediately after a big streak is snapped. While you could make the argument that the team would be more motivated to bounce back with a big performance, I think it does the opposite. The pressure of keeping that streak alive is lifted and with it the sense of urgency the team has been playing with. The Cougars also struggled to defend in their last outing, allowing Hofstra to shoot over 50% from the field, including from 3. On Drexel’s side, this isn’t a great shooting team, but it takes great care of the basketball and ranks in the top three in the conference in scoring defense. Take the home team to keep this one close. 

My Pick: Drexel +7.5

Oregon at Arizona Prediction

Arizona’s most recent loss came via a 19-point upset on the road at the hands of the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks shot 53.1% from the field in that game and out-rebounded the Wildcats, which isn’t an easy thing to do with Arizona’s size. Tonight, the Wildcats get another shot at Oregon, but this time on their home floor. Tommy Lloyd’s team was caught sleeping in the first matchup, but that won’t be the case tonight. Azuolas Tubelis has posted a double-double and as a team has held opponents to under 30% from 3 in each of Arizona’s last four wins. The Ducks have been playing well lately, with their most recent win coming against Utah, but they’re inconsistent, which is why I’m going to back the home team to get revenge tonight. 

My Pick: Arizona -9
