Baylor vs UCLA Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
Baylor comes off a loss to Virginia, a game in which freshman Keyonte George led the Bears in scoring, with 20, five of which came at this line. It was an even game up until Franklin couldn’t miss for Virginia, as he went off for 26 points. Baylor was the more careful team, with fewer turnovers and more rebounds, but Virginia getting 35 free throw attempts was the main reason they lost this game. Virginia slowed the game down, so Baylor would have to push it to be able to pull away and that never happened. Expect Baylor to come out with Geroge and Cryer pushing the pace off the bat.
UCLA comes off a devastating loss to Illinois, but they only shot themselves in the foot for this loss. They shot a terrible 37.5% from the field, 40.9% from deep and 50% from the line. Tyer Campbell and Jaime Jaquez Jr led the way for the Bruins, combining for 42 of the Bruins’ 70 points. They can match Baylor step for step with their defense, but their offensive identity needs to be found at some point in this game. Otherwise, they might drop out of the ap poll entirely.
Our college basketball betting Baylor vs UCLA prediction tonight will be Baylor -3 at BetOnline.
For what it’s worth, ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Baylor a 61.9% chance to win.
