This is just a gigantic home game for the Bruins who are fighting to get into the NCAA tourney.  They have 2 more shots to add a high level win to their resume, tonight vs Illinois and at home vs Nebraska on March 3rd.  The Bruins are 14-1 at home this season, including a win over Purdue, with their only loss coming by 1 point in double OT vs Indiana.  We really like the situation for UCLA as well as they are coming off back to back blowout losses @ Michigan (#1 team in the country) and @ Michigan State who was coming off a 20 point loss @ Wisconsin.  Those losses should give UCLA a little extra motivation here.  On top of that, they catch the Illini off a blowout win @ USC on Wednesday night (Trojans were without their best player Baker-Mazara) and now on the 2nd leg of their west coast trip.  Illinois might be a bit full of themselves after that AND they host Michigan next so this is a potential flat spot for them.  The Bruins are back at full strength with key guard Skyy Clark (13 PPG and 48% 3 point FG%) playing in the last 2 games after missing 10 straight games.  UCLA shoots 49% at home and 40% from beyond the arc while averaging 83 PPG.  Their defense is their strength ranking top 50 in defensive efficiency and 3rd in the Big 10 defending the arc which is key vs an Illini offense that takes 51% of their shots from 3 point land (10th most in the country).  On the other end of the court, UCLA ranks 2nd in the Big 10 making 37% of their triples (that was without Clark their best 3 point shooter for 10 games) while Illinois is 9th in the league defending the arc.  The Bruins have won 15 of their 18 home games in Big 10 play since joining the conference and 2 of those losses were by 1 and 3 points.  They’ve been a home dog just once during that stretch vs Purdue this year (UCLA won outright).  Dangerous game for the Illini and we like UCLA to keep this tight throughout.  DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT OUR BEST BET TODAY IN COLLEGE HOOPS!

ASAwins Free Bet Today: #179 Marshall -1.5 at Louisiana Lafayette, 8pm ET

ULL has some major concerns at the quarterback position after the loss or QB Walker Howard, who was injured in the season opener against Rice. Daniel Beale has filled in but has been less than effective with 313 total passing yards on 50.7% completions with 1 TD and 2 INT’s.

The O-line doesn’t help matters as they are one of the worst in the nation when it comes to efficiency stats with a sack percentage allowed of 7.23% (96th). The Cajuns are scoring just 17.7ppg, rank 129th in total yards per game (267) at 4.8 yards per play (107th).

ULL is coming off a road loss to Eastern Michigan who rates significantly lower in our ratings compared to Marshall. The Herd are coming off an impressive 42-28 win at Middle Tennessee State with QB Del Rio-Wilson completing 18/22 passes for 261 yards and 4 TD’s.

Marshall averaged 6.1YPP in that game against MTU and outgained the Blue Raiders by 75-total yards. The Herd are averaging 180 rushing yards per game (58th) this season and will face a ULL defense allowing 215 rushing yards per game (129th).

The Cajuns strength is also running the football at 199ypg, but the Herd defense allows the 35th fewest rushing yards per game at 102.5 and we already discussed their passing woes. Marshall went to Louisiana last season as a 5-point underdog and won 31-3, outgaining ULL by 155 total yards.

This one may be just as ugly. Take the road team as today’s free bet.

#795/796 ASA PLAY ON Under 136 Points – Michigan vs Rutgers, Thursday at 8:30 PM ET

Rutgers is a great defensive team overall (4th nationally in efficiency) but especially so at home where they allow only 54 PPG.  At home this team allows opponents to shoot only 36% from the field and 26% from beyond the arc.  They have played 16 home games thus far and only 3 opponents have reached 60 points.  Their most recent home game was one of their worst defensive performances of the year allowing Nebraska to score 82 points on 1.21 points per possessions which is way above Rutgers season defensive average of 0.90 PPP allowed.  We expect them to play very well on that end of the court tonight.  Rutgers will be without starter Caleb McConnell tonight and they lost starting big man Mawot Mag a few weeks ago.  They are not a deep team to begin with and will benefit by keeping this game at a very slow pace which they prefer.  Michigan likes to play fast, but that won’t happen on the road tonight.  The Wolverines have been solid offensively at home this year but on the road they are averaging only 67 PPG and will land below that tonight vs one of the top defenses in the nation.  Defensively Michigan ranks 7th in the Big 10 in efficiency but shouldn’t need to be great on that end tonight vs a Rutgers offense that ranks dead last in the league in eFG%.  Four of Michigan’s last six road game have totaled less than 120 points and their average point total on the road this year is 137 points.  Rutgers home games this season are averaging just 128 total points and 7 of the last 9 meetings between these 2 have resulted in 135 or fewer points.  Take the Under.
