UCLA Bruins vs Oregon State Beavers 2/9/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The #7 UCLA Bruins will go against the Oregon State Beavers in NCAAB action in Gill Coliseum, OR, on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 9:00 PM ET.

The Bruins lost back-to-back games to end January during a brief mid-season slump, but they wasted little time regaining their winning ways.

They welcomed the Washington-based schools to town last weekend, and they left with a sweep to start their new unbeaten run. Even though going to Oregon is never simple, it is always better to play the Beavers first.

The Bruins enter into this game with a 5-2 record on true away games, and their fifth-place finish in the NET Rankings has them aiming for a top-two seed in March.

Although the Bruins have many advantages in this matchup, the defense is probably going to be crucial. They are near the top of the PAC 12 in every other defensive category despite being ninth in scoring defense.

The Bruins are looking forward to this clash against an Oregon State club that had trouble maintaining consistency on offense. Also important is previous scoring experience.

The total went UNDER in 9 of UCLA’s last 12 matches.
The UCLA Bruins are 16-2 SU in their last 18 matches.
The Bruins are 4-14-2 ATS in their last 20 games with Oregon State.

UCLA Bruins vs Oregon State Beavers Predictions 2/9/2023

As of this weekend, Oregon State is ranked in the 200s in both the NET and RPI, and it is anticipated that they will be significantly outmatched.

While hosting the Bruins to town does not appear to be the matchup where they find that first victory, they remain winless against quad 1 opponents this year, sitting at 0-10.

Although the Beavers are 7-4 at home, neither their momentum nor their confidence in this game is expected to benefit from that.

They enter Thursday on a two-game winning run following a loss by 30 points, but only two victories in their previous eleven games leave a lot to be desired.

The offensive is their biggest challenge in this game, as was already mentioned.

They enter the game with a scoring ranking of 352nd and rankings in the 300s in a number of other offensive categories, which is expected to be amplified against one of the greatest defenses in the PAC 12.

Jordan Pope (12.6 ppg) and Glenn Taylor Jr. (11.0 ppg) will be under a lot of pressure, but they won’t be able to stay up without a lot of scoring in front of them.

This squad’s defense was traditionally its strongest suit, but they won’t have enough against a UCLA team with lots of balance and scoring alternatives.

The total went UNDER in 6 of Oregon State’s last 6 matches.
The Oregon State Beavers are 2-9 SU in their last 11 matches.
The total went UNDER in 8 of the Beavers’ last 11 games with UCLA.

#7 UCLA Bruins vs Oregon State Beavers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #7 UCLA Bruins. Since UCLA is back on a winning streak, this game is anticipated to be a breeze for the Bruins.

Since UCLA has a winning record this season and matches up perfectly against the Beavers, traveling won’t be a problem for them.

Because Oregon State has one of the weakest attacks in the nation compared to UCLA’s top-ranked defense, the Bruins will be able to take advantage of the matchup.

With a number of seasoned scorers on their team as well, UCLA will be able to increase its lead as the match progresses, while Oregon State will be well defeated before halftime.

Additionally, UCLA is 4-1 ATS in their last five matches following a straight-up victory, and the road team is 5-0-1 ATS in the previous six matchups between these two teams.

The #7 UCLA Bruins will win to a predicted score of 71-55.
