According to ESPN analytics, the Bruins have a 74.6% chance of winning the game. The Bruins are coming into this game not so hot compared to the last time they faced each other. UCLA has lost five of its previous six games and ended its five-game losing streak on Saturday when they defeated the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Predictions
The Bruins earned a fifth seed in the final Pac-12 tournament ever with a 10-10 record and a 15-16 record overall. Nothing short of a Pac-12 tournament title guarantees them a spot in the NCAA Tournament, which will start next week.
It is pivotal for the Bruins to do the impossible and shoot their way to their first tournament title in a decade. According to Draftkings, UCLA has the eighth-best odds to win the Pac-12 tournament at +4000. Only Stanford, California, Arizona State, and Oregon State trail the Bruins.
The Bruins will beat the Beavers for the third time this season in a nail-bitter to move onto the second round.
UCLA 70, Oregon State 66.
