UCLA vs. Florida

Florida is a great defensive team and favored, but this #4 seed UCLA team is strong on defense and great on offense. The Bruins are back to running-and-gunning at #12 in the nation in scoring (81.8 points per game), and #10 in shooting (49%). UCLA has a terrific one-two punch of 6-5 sophomore Jordan Adams (16.8 ppg) and 6-9 sophomore Kyle Anderson (15 ppg, 8.7 rpg). UCLA is third in the PAC-12 in free throw shooting, and even plays defense at #5 in team defense allowing .432% shooting by opponents. They won the PAC-12 tourney by beating Oregon (82-63), Stanford (84-59) and Arizona (75-71). Notice how great the defense was against two powerhouse offensive teams in Oregon and Arizona. The Bruins are 7-3 ATS in non-conference games and a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five neutral-site games. In addition, UCLA is 6-0 ATS against a team with a winning record. They match up well with the Gators in what should be a close one, so grab the talented, live dog. Take the points on UCLA.
