8:00 p.m. ET: UCLA Bruins (16-2) at Arizona Wildcats (17-2)

Spread: Arizona -6.5
Total: 147

The #3 UCLA Bruins have a tough road game against the #7 Arizona Wildcats. The teams play for the 2nd time this season in Pac-12 play. The Bruins won the last meeting 75-59 on Jan. 26. Johnny Juzang scored 15 points to help lead the Bruins to the victory. The Wildcats have gone 11-0 at home. Arizona leads the Pac-12 averaging 86.0 points and is shooting 48.0%. The Bruins are 8-1 in conference games. UCLA ranks 5th in the Pac-12 with 9.2 offensive rebounds per game. The Wildcats are due for a bounce-back performance after their recent shooting woes. UCLA’s Jaquez’s status remains in doubt and is listed as questionable at this time. Juzang also returns from a weeklong absence, and that time off could lead to a slow start. This will be a big game for the Wildcats on the home court as the top 2 teams in the PAC 12 play for the 2nd time in recent weeks with the revenge factor. Arizona has not shot the ball well in the last 2 games but considering they are one of the most efficient offensive teams, that is bound to change. With UCLA’s questionable health concerns and Arizona having this game as a top priority, you can expect the Wildcats to show up for this one. Take Arizona to cover the number here.
