This is a high total because UCLA has had an electric offense this season, running opponents into the ground. But this is tourney time when defense surfaces more often. Think Tulsa is going to want to run with UCLA? No way. Tulsa just swept through the Conference USA tourney allowing 69, 60, and 49 points as part of a 12-4 run UNDER the total. Tulsa is fourth in Conference USA in points allowed (62 per game), and tops in field goal shooting defense allowing 38%. They are also solid behind the arc on defense allowing 31.9% shooting (fifth). In the C-USA title game, they faced La Tech, the No. 15 scoring team in the country, and held them to 60 points and 33% shooting -- 21 points below their average scoring. The UNDER is 8-2 in the Golden Hurricane's last 10 non-conference games, while UCLA is 4-0 UNDER the total in non-conference games. Take the UNDER the total.
