The Pac-12 Tournament champion will be crowned when the UCLA Bruins face the Arizona Wildcats at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday. Arizona is favored by 1.5 points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the Over-Under is set at 143 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college basketball odds page). 

Before making any UCLA vs. Arizona picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of almost $1,600 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows UCLA is very strong on offense. The Bruins are in the top 15 nationally in offensive efficiency, with the second-best mark in the Pac-12. UCLA's ball security is elite by any description, ranking in the top five of the country in turnover rate and live-ball turnover rate. The Bruins are also in the top five of the Pac-12 in 2-point shooting, free-throw shooting, offensive rebound rate and free-throw creation rate.

The model also knows Arizona also has a potent offense. The Wildcats lead the Pac-12 in offensive efficiency and rank No. 7 in the country. Arizona is No. 5 in the nation in 2-point shooting, making 57.6 percent of attempts, and that leads the Wildcats to the Pac-12's best overall shooting profile. Arizona is shooting 34.6 percent from 3-point range in conference play while leading the Pac-12 in free throw creation rate. The Wildcats are also in the top 20 nationally with a 34.5 percent offensive rebound rate.

Now, it has set its sights on UCLA vs. Arizona. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in 60 percent of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
