Virginia Commonwealth at UCLA

The UCLA Bruins are back again, and they always seem to step it up come tourney time. The Bruins are a tough defensive team and that is going to make VCU struggle to get good shots, and if they do early, it could be lights out fast in this one. The Rams are not a strong offensive team, and they are very one-dimensional with Eric Maynor at 22.4 ppg, he is the only consistent threat to deal with, and UCLA is too good for one player to take them down. The Bruins get it done when they are a solid favorite as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven as a favorite of 7-12.5 points, and I look for them to win and cover here.
