img7:25 PM Eastern

UCLA enters the NCAA tournament in excellent form. The Bruins are 6-2 in their last eight games, with upset wins over Illinois, Nebraska, and Michigan State. They are 7-1 ATS during these past eight games, including covering their last five. Sparked by elite point guard Donovan Dent, UCLA has compiled the second-most efficient offense in the country during the past four weeks. Dent has recovered from a minor calf injury suffered in the Big Ten Conference Tournament semifinals against Purdue. UCF is making its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2019. The Knights enter the tournament at a low ebb with four losses in their last five games. The Knights have been ice-cold from 3-point range over their last four games, going 16-for-83 (19%). Take UCLA on the moneyline.
