Presbyterian vs UCLA Prediction 

UCLA lost to Arizona by four points two games ago, but they bounced back with a 31-point win over Sacramento State last time out. The Bruins are shooting 47% from the field and they have scored 79+ points in three of their first five games, but their defense has allowed just 63 points or fewer in three of their last four. Presbyterian has lost three games in a row and they have scored 62 or fewer in all three. The Blue Hose are shooting just 43% from the field and I think they will struggle to get past 55 here. Take UCLA to win big.
