UCLA vs Washington Prediction
Both of teams come into this game with a 6-1 record the season and they are both on lengthy winning streaks, but UCLA will have the home court advantage. The Bruins have scored at least 80 points in four straight games and they are allowing just 52.4 points against per game. Washington is shooting just 42.3% from the field and I think they are going to have some trouble with this UCLA defense. Both teams have been solid on the defensive end of the floor and I think we see a lower scoring game here. Take the under.
