- There is a 1.5-point spread in favor of Indiana to beat UCLA.
- There is a 135.5-point total between Nevada and San Jose State.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Friday Night college hoops feature some great matchups. Most notably in the Big 10 between UCLA and Indiana and Nevada and San Jose State in the Mountain West.
We’re looking at the spread between UCLA and Indiana and the point total for SJSU and Nevada on online sportsbooks.
UCLA Vs. Indiana
- Indiana: -1.5
- UCLA: +1.5
We’re trusting the Hoosiers at home in this one against UCLA on CBB betting sites. This is a great spot for them to continue getting back on track after upsetting #11 Michigan State with just five games left in the season heading into the Big 10 Tournament.
These two are similar on paper as they both average roughly 75 ppg on the season. Where the Hoosiers advantage comes, aside from playing on their homecourt, is their pace of play. Indiana is barely outside of the top 100 in terms of possessions per game at 72. UCLA, on the other hand, plays a much slower pace at 68.4 per game and 66.8 in their last three games.
If Indiana gets off to a quick start at home, they could potentially force UCLA into playing at an uncomfortable pace which could lead to a collapse.

- Pick: Indiana -1.5
San Jose State Vs. Nevada
- Over 135.5: -110
- Under 135.5: -110
This just seems like too low of a number for two teams that are combining for a bit over 146 ppg and allowing over 139 ppg to opponents combined as well.
Both have also been trending over this season and in their recent games more than anything. San Jose State leads the Mountain West going over in points this season at 15-8-1 and by +3.8 points on average. They’ve also gone over in three of their last five games.
Nevada, although 11-13 with their Over/Under this season, they are still seeing a +0.1 margin going over in points. In their last eight games, they’ve forced the over six times.
