T.M. Selection: UCLA.

I like UCLA to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Friday. UCLA is ranked 2nd in the country and Villanova is ranked 4th in the country for this game. This is going to be a fierce battle where both teams have something to prove. UCLA did not finish as a ranked team last year so they will be playing this game with a chip on their shoulder ready to show everyone why they deserve to be where they are now. Their team has added some great new players from their recruiting but a lot of this core team is still there and will have good chemistry on the court together that has been developing over the past years. Their team has a lot of depth to it and they play both sides of the ball well. They won their 1st game by around 40 points, scoring 95 and giving up 58 points. They get to play this game on their home court in front of all of their fans and they have a chance to setback Villanova's team with a loss here. I think UCLA is the better team here and i like the to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 76-67 UCLA.
