UCLA Bruins -1.5
(NCAAB) Bruins (UCLA) vs. Tar Heels (UNC),
Point Spread: -1.50 | -108.00 Bruins (UCLA) (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an indictment on the Tar Heels' issues on the defensive end of the floor this season. The Tar Heels are 341st in scoring defense as they allow 79.7 points per game this season and they are 320th by allowing 37.7 boards a night. Meanwhile, UCLA is fifth in scoring defense (56.8 ppg), 29th in field goal percentage defense (38.9%) and 40th in three-point defense (29.1%) this season. The Bruins are going to make North Carolina grind on every possession and that isn't the Tar Heels' strong suit. Take UCLA and the points here as their defensive work gets them the victory.
