UCLA An ATS Juggernaut Against Arizona

The battle for Pac-12 supremacy takes center stage when the Arizona Wildcats travel to Pauley Pavilion to take on the UCLA Bruins on Saturday. UCLA has been the bet to make in this conference rivalry with the Bruins going 8-1 ATS in the past nine between these two programs, which includes covering in each of the past five.

SHARK BITES
  • Arizona is 2-7 SU in their last 9 games on the road against UCLA.
  • UCLA is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games against the Pac-12.
  • Arizona is 10-0 SU in their last 10 games against teams with winning records.

UCLA is just an absolute joy to watch this season, as the up-tempo style has formed one of the most explosive offenses in the country. Lonzo Ball has been a big part in the transformation, as the point guard is averaging 14.4 points, 8.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game so far this season. However, Ball’s freshman teammate TJ Leaf has been the team’s top scorer with the California native notching 16.9 ppg and 9.0 rpg.

Arizona has won their past 11 games with their excellent defense shining, as the Wildcats have held their opposition to 60.4 points and a 38.1 shooting percentage. The most intriguing battle in this game will be Arizona star Lauri Markkanen taking on Leaf. Both are scoring big men who can stretch the floor and whoever wins the battle defensively will likely go a long way to deciding this game.
