Wednesday night college basketball and we will see the Washington Huskies travel to Pauley Pavilion to take on the UCLA Bruins. The game has a start time of 11:00 pm (Eastern) and will be televised on ESPN 2. Current Vegas betting odds have the Bruins listed as 10 point favorites, while the total is set at 144.5. 

Analysis:  The Washington Huskies are coming off an 87-84 win over Washington State on the road, which snapped a 7 game losing streak for the team. The Huskies are 15-11 overall, but a miserable 4-10 with in the Pac-12. Washington has gone just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and 1-5 ATS the last 6 games in the series, but the road team is 6-1 ATS the last 7 meetings.  The Huskies have been a decent offensive team this year, ranking 116th in scoring (69.8 ppg), 113th in shooting (44.6%), 295th in 3 point shooting (31.0%) and 216th in FT shooting (68.2%). The defense for this team has been below average as they come in ranked, 196th in points allowed (67.1 ppg), 84th in defensive FG% (40.7%) and 206th in 3 point defense (34.5%).

The UCLA Bruins had been playing solid ball until a road trip to both Arizona schools, in which they lost both games. The Bruins are now 16-12 overall, which includes marks of 8-7 in the Pac-12 and 13-1 at home. The Bruins are currently tied for 5th in the Pac-12 with Oregon State. UCLA has gone 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game and 5-16 ATS in their last 51 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Bruins have been a decent offensive team this year, ranking 103rd in scoring (70.4 ppg), 227th in shooting (42.6%), 136th in 3 point shooting (35.1%) and 267th in FT shooting (66.5%). The defense for this team has been better of late, but still for the year they are ranked 217th in points allowed (67.8 ppg), 108th in defensive FG% (41.4%) and 211th in 3 point defense (34.6%).

Pick: Going with the Under in this one. The Huskies have really struggled of late on defense, but still they have allowed just 68.8 ppg on the road this year and just 68.1 ppg in their last 5 Pac-12 road games (Regulation). Tonight they will be taking on a very average UCLA offense that has averaged just 64.4 ppg in their last 5 games. Defensively the Bruins have not been average of late as they have allowed just 62 ppg in their last 8 games and they huskies have scored just 64.4 ppg on the road. 74-64 sounds about right for this game.
