2014 NCAA Tournament Free Picks<\/strong> ATS Matchup Insight<\/a> | CP Insider Gambling Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In the South Region Sweet 16 match up 4th seed UCLA faces top-seed Florida. The Gators are the 4.5-point betting favorite and they have already beaten a team from a major conference in Pitt while UCLA has won 2 games against teams from smaller conferences.<\/p>\n Florida comes into this game riding a 28-game winning streak.<\/p>\n UCLA also comes into this game hot winning 5 straight including beating Arizona in the final of the Pac 12 conference tournament.<\/p>\n This game is all about offense vs. defense, as the Bruins have the nation\u2019s 12th highest scoring team and Florida ranks 3rd in the nation on defense.<\/p>\n UCLA played stellar in the win over Stephen F. Austin, as the Bruins shot over 60% from the floor and held the Lumberjacks to a FG% of 35.1%.<\/p>\n The leading scorers this season in Jordan Adams and Kyle Anderson combined to score 34 points in the Stephen F. Austin win and each shot over 50% from the field. These guys are both big guards that create match up problems for opposing defenses and the Gators have to keep these guys in check. It is key that the Bruins hold onto the rock in this game, as they will be facing a very tough and stingy defense.<\/p>\n The Gators only took 9 free throws in the win over Pitt and they may need to get more easy points from the charity stripe facing a better UCLA squad.<\/p>\n UCLA is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.<\/p>\n Florida is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.<\/p>\n Florida is the top-ranked team in the nation and is riding the nation\u2019s longest winning streak, but I am going with the Bruins in this game. <\/p>\n In the Pac 12 tourney final UCLA beat Arizona, who has a great defense, and they may not win in this Sweet 16 game, but they will cover the 4.5-point spread.<\/p>\n UCLA<\/strong> Florida<\/strong> Bruins vs Gators – March Madness UCLA is 23-12 ATS with an O\/U record of 15-19 and Florida is 17-14-1 ATS with an O\/U record of 10-21-1. In their last games UCLA beat Stephen F.
