NCAAB: RED-HOT BRUINS LOOK FOR REVENGE

The UCLA Bruins (19-4) look for their 5th straight win and cover on Thursday night, but it won’t be easy against their Pac-10 rivals, the Arizona State Sun Devils.

UCLA has parlayed their winning streak into the # 11 ranking in the AP and 6th in the ESPN coaches poll. It’s a little surprising that the AP sportswriters have them ranked that much lower, and the Bruins will be looking to send a message.

College Hoops Preview: Syracuse vs. UConn (Feb. 11)

Best in all the Land – (22) Syracuse at (1) Connecticut

Syracuse takes on Connecticut in a huge Big East showdown on Wednesday night. The Orange has been a bust against the spread so far this season going 9 and 11 overall and 2 and 4 on the road. Syracuse is okay straight-up at 18 and 6 but they have to make sure they don’t go on a losing streak or else they will find themselves out of the Big Dance come March. That’s how tough the Big East is this season.
