Utah vs. UCLA Prediction
The Utes begin this game with a record of 15-10.
Utah is on the wrong side of the bubble right and needs to get a win tonight if they want to keep their at-large hopes alive.
The Utes have struggled lately, losing three consecutive games, including a loss at home against a bad Arizona State squad.
Utah native Ben Carlson is the star of the team, leading them with 16.9 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
Senior Gabe Madsen has had a strong season, adding 12.9 points and 4.2 rebounds.
Deivon Smith has averaged 11.3 points and a team-best 5.9 assists.
Utah's offense has averaged 78.6 points per game while allowing opponents 73.0.
UCLA begins this game with a 14-11 record.
While the Bruins will not earn an at-large bid, this is a dangerous team right now.
UCLA has won six consecutive games to move up to fourth place in the Pac 12.
The Bruins are not a team that anyone wants to run into when it is time for the Pac 12 tournament.
Freshman Sebastian Mack leads the Bruins with 13.5 points per game.
Big man Adem Bona has averaged a team-best 6.0 rebounds while adding 12.3 points.
California native Dylan Edwards leads the Bruins with 3.7 dimes per game.
UCLA's offense has scored 66.1 points while allowing opposing teams 63.9.
Utah vs. UCLA Pick
This short of a line suggests that Utah is the play.
While the Utes have been abysmal on the road (1-6) and have lost three in a row, we see a one-possession spread.
The Bruins have played well lately, but they are due for regression and facing a Utah team that is in a must-win spot. I will back the Utes tonight.
Let’s stay hot!
