Colorado Buffaloes
This Colorado team has gotten off to a good start so far in 2021. I cannot say that I saw that one coming.
The Buffaloes last played on November 28th, where they beat Stanford by a score of 80-76. So far, this team has not played anybody all that great, but the competition will stiffen up when their conference play begins.
This contest with the Bruins will be a tough one for sure for this squad. It makes it even tougher when they have not been playing teams up to the level of the Bruins. With that said, I do feel Colorado can compete in this ball game.
In the win over the Cardinal, the leading scorer was Evan Battey, who had 22 points. Jabari Walker chipped in 12 points and 13 rebounds. This team is going to need their best guys to step up in order to get this win over UCLA.
UCLA Bruins
I have been very impressed with the way this UCLA team has started off the year. They are certainly one of the best teams in the nation.
The Bruins currently have a record of 6-1. They have played a mix of both cupcake teams and legit teams. I am curious to see how they do against a Colorado squad that is playing better than some folks thought.
These guys last played on November 27th when they took care of UNLV by a score of 73-51. They do have an impressive win over a ranked opponent in Villanova, but a disappointing loss to Gonzaga. The Zags proved to be too much for them at the time.
Against the Runnin’ Rebels, the leading scorer was Jules Bernard, who had 18 points and 4 rebounds. Both Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Johnny Juzang had 12 points. It was good to see a mix of different people step up in the win.

Free Colorado Buffaloes vs. UCLA Bruins NCAAB Prediction:
I do not feel that Colorado will be intimidated when they go on the road and face this very good team at UCLA. I can see it being closer than some may think.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Colorado ATS
I do feel that the Bruins are the better team here and I would be surprised if they lost the game. They really should be able to take care of business.
With that said, I feel that the Buffaloes can cover this game. Based on how they have played, it would not shock me if they made this thing competitive.
For me, the 13.5 is a little too high to lay with the Bruins. From the Colorado point of view, I like getting the hook in there.
I am going with the Buffaloes getting 13.5 points on the road in this one.
