UCLA favored to upset Tennessee in March Madness

nypost.com

The UCLA Bruins are set to face off against the Tennessee Volunteers in a highly anticipated college basketball matchup. The game will take place on Saturday night, and it features the Bruins as 4.5-point underdogs. This season, UCLA has shown resilience despite a rough start. They struggled early on with a 1-5 record during the holidays but rebounded with a strong seven-game winning streak. UCLA solidified their position in the NCAA Tournament after a win over No. 10 Utah State in the first round. On the other hand, Tennessee won their last game against Wofford with relative ease. However, the Volunteers may face fatigue, having played in many high-pressure games recently. This will be their fifth game in just over a week. The Bruins seem to fit well with the style of play that Tennessee prefers. Both teams play at a slower pace, which might work to UCLA’s advantage. While UCLA's overall record might not seem impressive, their journey through a tough conference could hint at potential strengths.
