Why Bet on UCLA?
The UCLA Bruins are one of the most athletic teams in all of college basketball. The Bruins are also an extremely young team, and should be talented for several seasons. The top scorer for UCLA this season has been forward T.J. Leaf. He is scoring more than 17 points per game, on a team that is scoring 92.9 per game.
The big name we hear about is Lonzo Ball. The guard is dealing out 7.1 assists per game, which is one of the best in college basketball. The Bruins are the top assist team in all of college basketball, with 22 assists per game. UCLA is playing their first of three straight home games, with Oregon State and USC coming to town next.
Why Bet on Oregon?
The Oregon Ducks are flying high right now. The Ducks scored 85 points in the blowout win over the Wildcats of Arizona. The only three losses this season for Oregon came to Colorado, Georgetown and Baylor. Oregon is on the road for this game, and one more, as they take on USC next.
The Ducks are scoring 78.9 points per game, and allowing 63.5 per game. Oregon’s top scorer this season has been forward Dillon Brooks. He is scoring 14.4 points per game, while guard Payton Pritchard is adding 8 points, and 3.7 assists per game. Oregon has been to the NCAA Tournament 14 times in school history, and have 19 tournament wins.
Betting Pick & Score Prediction
The UCLA Bruins have one of the best young, offensive teams in the country. Steve Alford has the most talent he has had since he took over at UCLA. The Bruins can score, but the question is – can they play enough defense to win the big games? This is a big game, and we are going to trust the Bruins defense to get the job done.
The Oregon Ducks are flying high coming into this game, and the Ducks are going to be an awfully tough team to beat going forward. But, in this game, the home team is going to win the game. The final bet for this game on Thursday night is the UCLA Bruins in a pick’em over the Oregon Ducks.
