Premium Pick

UCLA barely made it into the NCAA Tournament, but it since has gained enormous confidence, first by beating Michigan State in overtime and now overcoming some adversity by defeating Alabama after Alex Reese sent the game into OT with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer on Sunday. Jaime Jaquez, Jr. and Jules Bernard scored 17 points apiece to lead six double-figure scorers, and the Bruins managed to pull it out while shooting only 39%. UCLA would have gone UNDER for the third straight game in the tournament had it not gone into overtime, and the Crimson Tide was held to 29 points in the First-Half. Michigan went UNDER in its 76-58 victory over Florida State, and the Seminoles scored only 21 points in the First-Half. UCLA is 18-7-1 ATS its past 26 games following a win, and it has stayed UNDER five of its last seven NCAA Tournament games. The Wolverines are 13-5 UNDER their past 18 games and 9-4-1 UNDER their past 14 NCAA Tournament games. I have three picks on this game. Take UCLA with the points, the First-Half UNDER, and the full game UNDER.
