Can UCLA’s Underdog Surge Topple Purdue’s Reign?
UCLA does not quite have that same impressive record that Purdue has. They aren’t quite bad this year, but they are probably going to be a bubble team if they can’t string together a bunch of wins, or get some quality victories this year. They are 12-6 for the season, and just 4-3 in Big Ten play. Their losses have been against a good Arizona team, a decent Cal team, a strong Gonzaga team, and then at Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio State. One good note for them is that all of their losses have either been on the road or on a neutral floor. That’s good because they are the home team, and they have been able to win every home game this season by at least six points. I don’t think the Bruins are the most impressive team in the world. They are very guard-heavy with four of their top-five scorers on the team playing guard. Their highest scorer, though, is their forward Tyler Bilodeau. He is averaging 18.5 points per game this season, shooting almost 40-50-90 from the field. That’s impressive work at any level.
