BYU 10-0 (3-4 ATS) vs UCLA 5-4 (3-6 ATS) <\/strong>
\nSaturday December 18 – 5:30PM<\/strong>
\nRecent history: <\/strong>UCLA 82 – BYU 69 (2006)<\/p>\n

BYU is off to a perfect start this season with their win last Saturday their most impressive, a 22 point beatdown of the Arizona Wildcats. \u00a0Other than that the only other win of note is a victory over a Creighton team that is expected to challenge in the Missouri Valley.<\/p>\n

Some of their early schedule were such mismatches that there wasn’t even a line on the game. \u00a0PG Jimmer Fredette is picking up where he left off last year. \u00a0He is leading the team in scoring at 23.7ppg even though his shooting has been off compared to his standards. \u00a0This is a good test for BYU. \u00a0UCLA is in a down cycle but they still have a few talented players and play well at home. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A win on the road against a name team will help their resume should they not emerge from a very competitive Mountain West Conference.<\/p>\n

The Bruins started their season by beating some creampuff teams. \u00a0Then when the competition stiffened they stumbled losing to Villanova and Kansas (barely) with a close loss to a good VCU team in between.<\/p>\n

But after those three they lost to Montana by 9 at Pauley Pavillion. \u00a0That is something that would have been unheard of just a few seasons ago. \u00a0Amazingly, in all of these losses the defense has abandoned them. \u00a0That is something coach Ben Howland always prided himself on but they let the Montana Grizzlies shoot 51%.<\/p>\n

This team has a lot of growing up to do and might just have been beaten down by the ending of that Kansas game which they lost due to a questionable foul call. \u00a0Either way Tyler Honeycutt and Reeves Nelson will give the frontline of BYU all they can handle. \u00a0If they are both on it will make for a great game. \u00a0If…<\/p>\n

It might be a few more seasons until you can side with UCLA and make some coin. \u00a0They are maddeningly inconsistent which make them hell on betters out there. \u00a0Go with BYU but there isn’t a lot of value there.<\/p>\n
