UCLA could be suffering some jet lag after a tumultuous trip to China, which included some legal troubles for some of its players and a 63-60 win over Georgia Tech. The Bruins shot only 40.7 percent while holding the Yellow Jackets to 34.5 percent from the field. Kris Wilkes scored 18 points for the Bruins and Jaylen Hands added 14 points. UCLA will take time to adapt to a new recruiting class and the absence of Lonzo Ball, who ran the Bruins' offense last season. Central Arkansas returns six of its top eight players with a new focus of improving defensively. The Bears come off a 99-51 win over small school University of the Ozarks, which was held to just a .259 field goal percentage on 14-of-54 shooting. Jordan Howard scored 24 points for Central Arkansas and Hayden Koval added 12 points. The Bears have gone UNDER nine of their last 13 and eight of their last 11 road games. UCLA is also 8-2 UNDER its last 10 games dating to last season. Play the UNDER.
