Spread: UCLA -9.5
Total: 131

The #13 UCLA Bruins host the Washington State Cougars after Tyger Campbell scored 27 points in UCLA’s 67-64 loss to the USC Trojans. The Bruins have gone 10-1 at home and the Cougars are 7-6 in Pac-12 play. Washington State ranks 8th in the Pac-12 shooting 33.3% from downtown and UCLA holds opponents to 32.8% from three-point land. The Bruins dropped 3 of the last 4 games and will be looking forward to getting back to playing on the home court. The Cougars have lost 3 straight after going on a 5 game winning streak. UCLA is ranked 17th offense efficiency according to KenPom and Washington St. hasn’t been great defensively. The Cougars rely on the three-ball but UCLA also has the 21st most efficient defense and won’t allow the Cougars to get many open looks. UCLA will be hungry for a big win here on their home court after the tough road slide. This line opened at -8.5 but the sharp money is sending it up to -10 at some books while the Cougars are getting a good number of tickets because they have been keeping games close. Look for UCLA to handle the Cougars in this one and cover the spread.
