UCLA Men's Basketball Vs Oregon: Betting Odds, How To Watch, Predictions And More

Can they make it two in a row?

A much-needed victory against the Oregon State Beavers could be what this Bruins squad needed to get back on track, as they're now 6-6 with some big conference games coming up – including tonight against the Oregon Ducks in Eugene.

The Ducks are coming off of a nice win against the USC Trojans and now sit at 9-3 with wins against Michigan and a seemingly solid Georgia team. 

Here's how to watch this key conference matchup:

Date: Saturday, December 30th

Time: 1 p.m. PST, Matthew Knight Arena, Eugene, Oregon

TV: CBS

The Bruins are currently 6-point underdogs, which feels fairly appropriate. That said, UCLA has had some more impressive showings than the Ducks have, as even though they sit at 6-6, they lost to Marquette and Gonzaga by a combined 6 points, and haven't lost a game by more than 9. 

Oregon, on the contrary, has lost by 20 to a middling Syracuse squad. The Ducks' ceiling may be higher, but their floor is definitely lower, while UCLA, largely due to the high-level coaching of Mick Cronin combined with their stout defense, is well-cushioned from bad losses. 

I'd be surprised if the Bruins don't come away with a victory while covering in the process.
