No. 14 Ohio State has won four in a row with stellar defense allowing 59, 67, 71 and 56 points. Ohio State is 19-6 UNDER the total after two or more consecutive wins. They face a UCLA team with mounting pressure on coach Steve Alford for a win, losing two in a row to Belmont and unranked Cincinnati. Look for the coach to demand a strong defensive effort as the Bruins got lit up the last game. College basketball teams like UCLA that are playing on a neutral court after going OVER the total by more than 12 points in three consecutive games are 90-45 UNDER the total. And UCLA is 7-2 UNDER against teams with winning percentages above .600. Take the UNDER.
