It took a while for Mick Cronin to break this new UCLA team that spent the first half of the season in something of a stupor. The wake-up call seemed to be the earlier 46-point loss at Utah five weeks ago. Now, on February 18, the buy-in to Cronin's defense and rebound mantra is complete, with wins in eight of nine since (and a close call at Arizona the only loss). A chance at revenge against the Utes awaits at Pauley Pavilion on Sunday, and the Bruin defense seems up to the job, holding most recent foes well beneath their offensive averages. Potent Colorado was limited to only 46 shots in the Buffs' loss to Cronin on Thursday. Play Utah-UCLA "Under"
Rare to see a rematch when the favored team lost by 46 points in the first meeting. So we have it here for UCLA, which was buried five weeks ago in Salt Lake City but since has won 8 of 9 and also dropped just one vs. the spread as well as Mick Cronin's team made a quick recovery from that earlier debacle. The likes of GS Dylan Andrews and Sebastian Mack are no longer looking toward the bench if they might get pulled when missing shots, while the Bruins have bought into Cronin's defense and rebounding mantras. Meanwhile the Utes have lost and failed to cover five of their last six, and about to drop off of the Big Dance bubble. Play UCLA
