Yonke's prediction: Expect a low-scoring affair today at UCLA.
Mick Cronin’s UCLA Bruins look to stay hot as they host Darian DeVries’ Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday afternoon at Pauley Pavilion. This is projected to be a tight contest, but UCLA’s home-court advantage and strong recent performance have the Bruins established as 3.
5-point favorites.aim for a fourth consecutive win, and the game plan will involve the offense playing at its typical methodical pace . This style of play leads to low-scoring conference games — UCLA has played to the Under in eight of its last nine against Big Ten foes.enter as the slightly superior team according to the analytics . There is one main concern, however — they’ve been a mess on the road.For a team that usually relies on its offensive prowess to win games, it’s unclear if the jump shooting will be at its best during a Southern California road trip that has proven cumbersome for many Big Ten squads unused to cross-country travel. The Hoosiers have typically underperformed offensively on the road, going 1-9 O/U in their last 10 away games. Indiana has cashed the Under in five straight games, so here’s betting on a sixth in a game against another team streaking toward the Under. Indiana has hit the first half Under in 20 of its last 32 games, and it wouldn’t be surprising if things got off to a slow start given the cross-country travel. UCLA is definitely playing some of its best basketball of the season, but the 3.5-point spread is difficult to justify. Indiana is the slightly superior team from an analytics perspective, and the two teams are quite similar, as both have struggled to beat quality teams other than Purdue.UCLA hasn’t proven capable of beating quality teams, so nothing should be taken for granted until proven otherwise. The Bruins have won five of their last six, but those all came against bad teams other than Purdue — a team the Hoosiers also just defeated. The Hoosiers have cashed the first-half moneyline in 19 of their last 32 games, and getting off to a strong defensive start would correlate well with an upset win.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
