Check out all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions this season.
Michigan has yet to lose a game at Crisler Center this season, with all but one of its wins coming by at least 10 points.
UCLA has won 10 consecutive games by double digits, defeating four-ranked opponents during that span. That said, they haven’t played a team as good offensively as Michigan. The Wolverines are averaging 87.8 points per game, and I expect them to keep up with a UCLA team that has scored at least 80 in six consecutive contests.
However, expect a slightly lower-scoring game than usual, as both teams allow 62.0 or less per game.
Score prediction: UCLA 75, Michigan 70
