UCLA at Washington State

Mick Cronin did not inherit a whole lot of talent but his teams at Cincinnati were always mentally tough and physical. He is starting to implement that style at UCLA and his team is starting to defend and rebound which is a pair of his team's trademarks. UCLA has out-rebounded its opponents in 12 straight games which are giving them more offense. Washington St. and UCLA are both averaging in the 70s and I think each can get there in this one. Washington St. has allowed the better teams on their schedule to shoot 50% and better. Take the OVER.
