THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-UCLA PREDICTION THREAD

[Degaz-RU]

UCLA plays good defense and is solid in all facets of the game, including shooting 37% from 3-pt range. Life on the road in the Big Ten.

UCLA 78
Rutgers 70

UCLA 76 RUTGERS 65

UCLA does not really blow teams out so from that perspective it shouldnt get too ugly but Rutgers will have trouble with their defense.

UCLA is anywhere from 13.5 to 14.5 point favorite

I don’t think ucla’s coach lets his team look past Rutgers. Seems pissed off after letting Indiana beat them. UCLA 78, Rutgers 60. Be nice if we were not down 10 at start of game.

UCLA 75-65.

RU pulls one out late, 75-73

 

[LeapinLou]

As you know, the game starts at 9:30 PM. I'll go into blackout mode and check the score in the morning. If RU wins, I'll watch it on Wednesday evening. Otherwise, I'll just watch the highlights and review the box score.

RU has covered a couple of games in a row now. My hunch is that losing two consecutive heartbreakers has taken a toll, and this is a letdown game. UCLA covers the big spread.

My heart says we steal one. My head says we’re in for a setback and a long flight home before a massacre on Saturday.

Head: UCLA 82 - RU 63
Heart: RU 75 - UCLA 70

That’s where my head is at.

I too have a feeling that all the pieces mesh in RU's favor tonight

Who knows, maybe with the 930 ET start, RU thinks it's the 2nd half at tip off and they come out strong from the get go

 

[BillyC80]

To their credit, UCLA did beat Purdue, however their other 6 conference wins are against the bottom 7 teams who are a combined 9-45 in the B1G.

They lost to Indiana in OT, while we lost to MSU in OT, and they lost at Iowa by 13 points while we lost at Iowa by only 6 points.

As always, a lot will depend on the matchup and if UCLA makes their threes. Plus, they’re at home and they have a better coach.

If this were at the RAC, I’d predict a win. Feels like a 5 to 7-point loss on the road: 78-71 UCLA
