Picks for 1/17/25
College Basketball
9:00 PM EST
Rotation # 890
UCLA -6 over Iowa (win)
UCLA is adjusting to life in the BIG 10 and has played fewer home games than any other team in the conference. The Bruins are excited to return home after two road losses on the East Coast. Iowa is always a tremendous offensive team, but they play poor defense. The Bruins will look to dictate the game’s pace by playing outstanding defense and slowing down the offense’s tempo. Big man Tyler Bilodeau and Eric Dailey lead the Bruins. Kobe Johnson has been great on the glass this season. The Bruins have the guard play to put up a lot of offense tonight on a weak Hawkeye defense. Look for the Bruins to play physical basketball and ride the momentum of the home crowd at Pauley Pavilion. Take UCLA.
