UCLA Basketball Vs Utah: How To Watch, Odds, Predictions & More

Will UCLA get vengeance against Utah?

UCLA basketball will take on Utah this Sunday for their second game of the week. The Bruins come into this game on a six-game winning streak, with their latest win over Colorado on Thursday.

This game is, of course, a rematch from when the Bruins were destroyed by the Utes 90-44 earlier this season. Since that game, UCLA has turned their year around and won eight of their last nine games. Meanwhile, Utah is on a three-game losing streak after falling to USC on Thursday.

How to Watch

UCLA-Utah will be airing on FS1, with the game beginning at 4 p.m. PST. The game will also be broadcast on AM 570. 

Odds

The Bruins are favored (-1.5) over Utah (+1.5). The over/under is set at 134.5, per FanDuel Sportsbook

Predictions

Will UCLA get vengeance? Or will Utah clobber them again? 

The Bruins certainly have the momentum heading into this game and have been one of the best teams in the Pac-12 ever since that Utah loss. UCLA is coming off a win over Colorado on Thursday when the Bruins defeated one of the Pac-12's best teams in a close 64-60 battle.

Sebastian Mack showed out for the Bruins against Colorado, leading both teams in scoring with 19 points, four rebounds and one assist. Adem Bona finished second on the Bruins with 14 points, seven rebounds and one assist.

However, the Bruins have room to improve when it comes to scoring. The Bruins have won their last two but were held to less than 65 points in each game. Putting up more points will give them some more comfort at the end of games.

Either way, UCLA has the momentum and should extend their winning streak to seven.

Score Prediction: UCLA 71, Utah 61
