    NCAA: Arizona/UCLA...

    Arizona looks too easy here? Is this a trap line?

    UCLA is a sleeping giant. Big time talent, a lot of size ( One of the biggest teams in the country), and they can go small with plenty of speed.

    Arizona is probably a cut below, but they are at home. The only advantage they have. UCLA very dangerous.

    This is a game you stay far away from. If you have to bet it, you take UCLA. Lonzo had a quiet scoring game at Arizona State and will probably go off.

    From a basketball perspective, I'm pretty confident that UCLA will win this game, but with that spread being at 1, I just think you can't responsibly bet it when there are better plays to be made. Take Villanova -10.5 vs. Creighton. They're gonna take out all of their anger on them.

    Lonzo Ball sprained his ankle last game against AZ ST. He is listed as probable but have to think he will be used sparingly with March Madness approaching. It is already figured in the point spread though, or this game would've been PK.

    from what i see almost every tout is on Arizona -1.5 and most of them have it as game of the day/week/month/year. i initially like arizona but going to sit this one out.

    Didn't know about the Ball injury against ASU because I only watched like two minutes of the game, but what you're saying means that UCLA is probably going to win. Instead of sitting it out, make a bold play here and confidently take UCLA money line. Outside of the 7 footer, is Arizona even that good? Not really....

    I think Zona is being over rated here. My public gauge shows Zona winning 83-80.

    But the sharper forecast has UCLA winning by 16 points at 79-63.

    The split in money is evident but I don't think the market is showing the UCLA pressure while showing that public side. Early money hit UCLA, but it was countered (or appeared to be countered), now we'll see if the late money brings that line back down.

    If we see that line drop and gain UCLA steam by game time, it may be the intent of the books, and that could be a worry for UCLA bettors in this particular situation.

    Imo, UCLA is way better than Arizona, but I think the spread is true here and this game is literally coming down to the last shot.

    This is a good watch. Public money now driving some books to 2.5. If it goes to 3, I'm a UCLA buyer. Doubt it goes there though without paying heavy juice.

    watch UCLA bury everyone.

    they want revenge and are in AZ
    looking to sweep the state after AZ St win.

    On UCLA ML here. +125 is a solid price for me.

    I think it's a bad matchup for UCLA. Line is likely a reflection of kenpom. Bruins were favored by 5 at Pauly, so line is about right. UCLA doesn't really run any offense, they just go down and jack up shots. Arizona will grind them out and a big coaching mismatch.

    The reason UCLA probably won't win the title is because they're one of those wacky teams that just goes down and throws shots up and doesn't play tough, gritty defensive. If a team has legit hammers down low and the guards are smart and don't turn it over, UCLA can get bullied.

    However, in this spot, it's hard to say because Zona has some hammers to get it done, but I just don't think they'll play a smart all around game. I think it'll either be neck and neck between the two teams (most likely) or UCLA will shoot lights out and win by a few possessions.

    Live bet the under 174.5. I think AZ tries to slow it down now that they are close.
