Big play for me!!
UCLA (ML) over Arizona St
UCLA not the best road team, lossing 2 of 3 away. ASU has won four of the past six meetings with UCLA. The Bruins might be looking toward Saturdays match-up with Arizona but they have a talented squad. Coming off 3 wins vs. Washington, Wash state, and @ Oregon. The Bruins travel to ASU to face the sundevils that are coming off 2 straight wins over Stanford and Cal. HOWEVER they did play those teams with OUT their respective best players (Stan- Chris Hernandez and Cal- Richard Midgley).
Ike Diogu is the man for the sundevils, averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds per contest. More than likely he will be guarded by Senior forward Dijon Thompson (UCLA's best player). That match-up favors ASU because Diogu is bigger and stronger. UCLA plays good team defense, and runs the court well. Freshman guards might hurt the Bruins but Jordan Farmar has been playing some great basketball against some pretty good competition. The young UCLA players should feed off the big win over Washington. The Bruin big men have to win the battle in the paint.
