UCLA Bruins vs Washington Huskies Predictions 2/28/2022

The Huskies will not be in March Madness unless they make an unlikely run through the Pac 12 Conference Tournament as the year nears its end. Washington’s campaign is erratic, with the team unable to put together regular streaks of performance. On the attacking side, there is a problem.

Despite scoring about 70 points per game, Washington is one of the worst shooting teams in the country, ranking 325th in field goal percentage at around 41%. The Huskies are not a danger from the three-point range, completing only 31% of their attempts. Terrell Brown Jr is the team’s leading scorer, posting 21.5 points per contest.

Throughout the year, the defense struggled, surrendering 73 points per game while shooting 44% from the field. The Huskies struggled to box out on the defensive boards, presently ranking 350th in the country.

All season, allowing second-chance scoring opportunities is an issue. They were out-rebounded 37-32 by UCLA in their first meeting, and they also lost the turnover battle 14-7.

The University of Washington Huskies is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 matches.
The total went UNDER in 8 of Washington’s last 9 matches against UCLA.
Washington is 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches in the Pac-12 Conference.

#12 UCLA Bruins vs Washington Huskies. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #12 UCLA Bruins. Over their previous five matches, UCLA is a defensive force to be reckoned with, and they look to be recovering their early-season form at the perfect time.

In their first meeting, UCLA wreaked havoc on the Huskies, holding them to just 34% shooting from the field. On Monday, anticipate more of the same against a Washington team that shoots under 41% from the field. While Juzang’s absence may have an impact on the offense, they prevailed by 39 points without him over the weekend.
