UCLA / Michigan State - UNDER 142.5 (-110) 1.1 units
In B1G play, UCLA has an Adjusted Tempo of 63.5 (16/18). Michigan State is 65.4. Michigan State Defensive Time of Possession is 343/365 and UCLA is 352/365. With this tempo matchup, we should see some very long, controlled, possessions, and strong perimeter defense. Michigan State defense is ranked 1/365 in road/neutral games in rebounds, further limiting UCLA opportunities. These teams played to a total of 141 earlier this year, in a Sparty blowout in East Lansing. Though their prior matchup in LA totaled 124, and I expect a similar grind here in a tournament setting. Michigan State is 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 B1G tourney games. Under Cronin, UCLA is 7-1 to the under in the 2nd game and beyond of Back to Backs.
