Northwestern put on an impressive performance while defeating Boise State 75-67 as the Wildcats never trailed and it was led by Boo Buie, who scored 22 points, and Chase Audige added 20 points for the Wildcats, who shot a shade below 50 percent and held the Broncos to 40 percent. The Wildcats have been a moneymaker all season with a 20-13 ATS record and they are 6-2 ATS their past eight against .600 teams and 8-3 ATS their past 11 games overall. UCLA is a great defensive squad holding opponents to a .406 shooting percentage, but Northwestern is about on par with the Bruins with a .411 opponent field goal percentage. UCLA is 30-5, but it has shown some vulnerability losing two of three to Arizona which, of course, lost to Princeton on Thursday. The Bruins will cool off after shooting 54 percent against Colgate in the first round. Take the points with Northwestern - Max Play

Pro Picks
UCLA vs. Northwestern
Steve Alford has yet to experience a loss at UCLA as he has his Bruins off and running to a 6-0 start. It is hard to find a lot of players willing to take a less notable Big-10 opponent against the storied history of the Bruins, so the line value is certainly there for the 4-3 Wildcats. The Bruins haven't actually been automatic on a neutral floor, far from it, as they are a money-burning 8-21 ATS in their last 29. The Bruins have also gotten too big for themselves. After scoring 100+ in their previous game, they have crash landed in their next game to a 1-8 ATS mark in their last nine. Northwestern sneaks up on them here. Make the play on Northwestern.
