Villanova at UCLA

Two national championship contenders collide tonight, and UCLA didn't waste any time showing that it's on a mission after a heartbreak loss in the NCAA Tournament last season. The Bruins destroyed Cal State Bakersfield, 98-58, on Tuesday night with Johnny Juzang and Jules Bernard leading five double-digit scorers with 19 points apiece. The Bruins shot 50% overall and hit 13 of 27 from 3-point range. Villanova shot 55.3% in defeating Mount St. Mary's, 91-51, but the Wildcats figure to cool off going on the road, and they are 0-5 ATS their last five road contests. UCLA has covered seven in a row dating to last season, and they are 15-5-1 ATS following an ATS win (15-6-1 ATS overall its past 22 home games). The Bruins are small favorites in this battle. Go with UCLA on the moneyline.
