Preview

UCLA (17-5, 9-4 Pac-12) has had a rough stint on their 4 game road trip (1-3) including a big loss to in state rivals USC. Despite being highly over ranked this season, it seems like they are due to break through and regain that March Madness form. Way too many dawgs on this team to not figure it out with great leadership at the coaching level in Mick Cronin. They will be playing at home for this game and ready to show out (6-4-1 ATS). 

 

Wash. St (14-10, 7-6 Pac-12) started this month off very hot, but has seen a dip in regression over their last three games all resulting in big L's. Without the ability to hit the tre ball at a consistent clip (30%) and no true ballers besides Michael Flowers (13.9ppg), I can not see them reverse their 3 game skid. 

Prediction

Over the last 10 head to head matchups the Couagrs have the edge ATS (6-4), but I just can't see them covering this game after UCLA had a rough loss to USC. UCLA comes out hungrier than a mosiquto trapped in a window and covers this game.
