UCLA vs. Utah State Analysis
The Aggies defense ranks outside the top 200 in defensive efficiency since Feb. 1, and Colorado State schooled them in the Mountain West Tournament semifinals.
It’ll be interesting to see how UCLA attacks the various weird zones Jerrod Calhoun throws out. Some teams might fall prey to turnovers when the Aggies get some pressure on the ball, but UCLA rarely turns it over.
The Bruins will likely feed their effective scoring forwards, Tyler Bilodeau, Eric Dailey Jr., as well as 7-foot-3 mammoth Aday Mara.
Utah State allows teams to shoot over 56% from inside the arc, which should allow the Bruins to feast at the hoop.
The only saving grace for Utah State is shooting. The Aggies need strong performances from Mason Falslev and Ian Martinez, and guards Drake Allen and Deyton Albury to handle UCLA’s on-ball pressure, or this one could get ugly.
I like UCLA -4.5.
