5*
(NCAAB) UCLA vs. Alabama,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -110.00 UCLA (Away)
Result: Win
UCLA has too many good players on the team to struggle too much here - Mick Cronin has seriously one of the better coaches the Bruins have recently had and will have his team prepared. He has done a great job in a short time there, he gets everything out of his guys, every game. Still a little more improvements needed with rim protection - but UCLA looked like they are bringing it to the next level. This has not been the best prepared Alabama team I've seen in awhile - where has Alabama defense's ability to create turnovers gone? They had problems with defending the deep look vs Maryland - the Crimson Tide needs to stay confident, and try to contain the UCLA offense, but that's going to be a tall task. UCLA plus the pts gets the call here on Sunday.
