California at UCLA

It is that time a year again when conference play gets into full swing, and teams begin to truly identify what they are. One aspect of conference play, regardless of what has transpired so far, is that there is a lot more pressure, and a lot more intensity. The Bruins have been living large in their last four games on the offensive end, with 89+ points in each of them, but Cal certainly has a formula to slow down the Bruins. The Bears’ defensive formula has led to 9 of their 12 opponents falling shy of the 70-point mark. While UCLA has been racing up and down the floor, they have only seen one of their last six vs. Pac-12 opponents eclipse the total. With this game being the conference opener, expect the defensive efforts on both sides to take center stage. Take the UNDER.
