Washington State is not Washington and furthermore they will be without their best player Faisal Aden. UCLA has played much better winning 2 of their last 3 games and Josh Smith has finally gotten in shape and will be a dominating force in this game. I like the Bruins player better at every position on the court and expect them to dominate the paint and cruise to a victory. This will be the 114th meeting in the all-time series. UCLA holds a supreme 99-14 advantage in the rivalry's history. The Bruins won both of last year's encounters to improve their record against the Cougars. UCLA has covered 6 of their last 8 games. Washington State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a victory. The Cougars struggled to put away USC and will lose this game by double digits.
