While the regular-season standings won’t be affected, there is still plenty at stake when No. 4 UCLA takes on No. 8 Arizona in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The Bruins have already clinched the Pac-12 regular-season title with a record of 26-4 overall and 17-2 in conference play. Meanwhile, the Wildcats (25-5 overall, 14- 5 in Pac-12) secured the No. 2 seed for next week’s conference tournament after defeating Southern California 87 to 81 on Thursday. Despite the difference in standings, both teams are hungry for a win in this highly anticipated matchup. With their sights set on March Madness, UCLA and Arizona will leave it all on the court as they battle for bragging rights and momentum heading into postseason play.
Both Arizona and UCLA will be entering Saturday night with a healthy lineup. The last time these two teams met was on January 21st where Arizona beat UCLA 58-52 and were able to cover the spread. Though, this time the game will be played on UCLA’s homecourt which is a big difference as the Bruins are undefeated at home. And something to consider here in regards to head to head trends, the Home team is 5-0 on the ATS and the Favorite is 4- 1 on the ATS in their last 5 meetings.
That said, I’m rolling with the UCLA Bruins to cover the spread here at -5 for my free pick of the day.
