As expected, UCLA suffered some jet lag after its trip to China and got a big scare from Central Arkansas before the Bruins pulled out a 106-101 win in overtime on Wednesday. The Bruins defense looked tired and was almost non-existent as the Bears shot nearly 50 percent from the field on the road. South Carolina State has lost all three of its games this season while shooting a paltry 31.9 percent and averaging only 52 points per game. The Bulldogs had only one player score in double figures in an 86-54 loss to Yale and that was Damani Applewhite with 13 points and the entire team was 1-of-11 from three-point range. UCLA is missing three players with suspensions and the defense will be more rested for this matchup. UCLA has gone UNDER 11 of its last 15 overall dating to last season. Play the UNDER.
