Game outlook

UCLA is on the road playing Washington St. at the Wallis Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum stadium on Friday, 12/30/2022 @ 11:00pm EST. UCLA -8 was the opening favorite and current line is UCLA -8.5.

T he Pac-12 Conference showdown takes place at Beasley Coliseum in Pullman, Washington, on Friday, December 30, between the UCLA Bruins and the Washington State Cougars for the first time this season. After sweeping Washington State in 2021-22, the Bruins aim for their third consecutive victory over the Cougars. With 133.5 points, the visitors open as 9-point favorites.

The Bruins are on an eight-game winning streak

On December 21, the UCLA Bruins thrashed the UC Davis Aggies 81-54 to improve to 11-2 SU and 8-5 ATS. The Bruins extended their winning streak to eight games while covering a huge 22.5-point spread. The team shot 49.3% from the field (5-for-10 from downtown) and had a 15/12 assist-to-turnover ratio.

In a double-double against the Aggies, junior guard Jaylen Clark scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. In addition, he had three assists and three steals. Tyger Campbell scored 17 points and dished out five assists, while fellow senior G Jaime Jaquez had 14 points, eight rebounds, and three assists.

The Washington State Cougars fell to 5-8 SU and ATS following their 82-73 loss to the Utah State Aggies this past Sunday. In Honolulu, Hawaii, they failed to cover a 3.5-point spread. They suffered their fourth SU and ATS loss in five games, as they couldn't deal with the Aggies' offense.

From the field, Utah State shot 60.4% and was 11-for-17 from beyond the arc. On the other hand, the Cougars made just two of 17 attempts from downtown and 44.4% of their field goals. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was also poor at 8/13. Mouhamed Gueye, a sophomore big man, had 22 points and 12 rebounds, while TJ Bamba, a junior guard, had 19 points.

The Cougars have struggled lately, but the Bruins have played very well on both sides of the ball. Covering a nine-point spread won't be easy, but I have to take the Bruins. It will be difficult for the Cougars to keep this close unless they are able to shoot well. A strong 3-point defense is a strength of the Bruins. On both sides of the court, they rank top-10 in turnover percentage.

In its last seven games overall, Washington State is 2-5 ATS, and in its last nine conference games, it is 1-8 ATS. Over the last six games, UCLA has gone 4-2 ATS.

UCLA Highlights

With a power ranking of 7, UCLA is ranked #40 in offense (scoring an average of 80.31 per game), #34 in defense (allowing an average of 61.54 points to be scored against them per game) and are 11-2 (8-5 ATS) this season.

Washington St. Highlights

Washington St. Cougars has a power ranking of 196 and are #279 for offense (scoring an average of 68.33 per game), #67 for defense (giving up an average of 61.54 points per game) and 5-8 (5-8 ATS) overall. UCLA went 1-2 (1-2 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Washington St..
