UCLA Basketball Vs Ohio State: Betting Odds, How To Watch, Predictions And More
Coming off of two games that drew serious question marks – a mere 1-point win over UC Riverside and a 9-point loss to Villanova, the Bruins open the annual CBS Sports Classic in Atlanta, GA via a matchup with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Sitting at 5-3 and 9th in the Pac-12, this hasn't been the start the Bruins were hoping for. That said, their young roster and limited continuity alongside the late arrival of Berke Buyuktuncel compose an explanation for their slow start.
Their schedule hasn't done them favors, as suffering 3 losses to Villanova, Gonzaga, and Marquette in your first 10 games is bound to hurt your record.
Ohio State currently sits at 8-2 with a 3-point loss to Penn State in their most recent game, along with a 7-point loss to Texas A&M on November 10th.
Their Penn State loss was frankly bizarre, as they were outscored by 15 in the second half, ceding 54 points in the process.
With solid personnel and an impressive win against a good Alabama team, OSU is a tough matchup for the Bruins, and this game should be close. Here's what you need to know:
When: Saturday (12/16), noon
Where: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA
TV/Radio: CBS, 570 AM
