UCLA Basketball: Bruins' Latest Odds To Win Pac-12 Regular Season Title Unveiled

In this story:
It's been one heck of a month for UCLA Basketball. Just one month ago today, the Bruins broke a four-game losing streak that had them sitting at 6-11 with a 73-61 win over Washington.
Turns out, that win just marked the start of change for the Bruins. The Bruins are riding a five-game winning streak and have won seven of their last eight games.
This drastic improvement is now reflected in the Bruin's odds to win the Pac-12 regular season title. UCLA currently has +4000 odds to win the Pac-12 title, which ranks fifth among Pac-12 teams.
Arizona is in first with -1000 odds to win the title, Washington State is second with +575 odds, Oregon is third with +3000 odds and Colorado is fourth with +3500 odds, via Bet Online.
A win over Colorado on Thursday could certainly boost the Bruin's odds at this title. Though the Buffaloes have a better overall record (16-8) compared to the Bruins (13-11), the Bruins are one game ahead of Colorado in conference record. UCLA is 8-5 against Pac-12 opponents, while Colorado is 7-6.
This is truly a marked improvement for the Bruins, who looked completely lost heading into their game against Washington a month ago. This 2023-2024 season was looking like a lost year for a UCLA team that seemingly could not replace all the starters they lost after last season.
Instead, the Bruins rallied around their young players and have turned their season around. This Bruins squad is gaining momentum at the right time, and have a legit shot at making March Madness next month if they keep heading at this pace.
