Bruins attempt to clinch outright Pac-10 title

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/01/2007 - Pullman, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The second-ranked UCLA Bruins are playing outstanding basketball at just the right time, and the team has traveled to Pullman for this evening's showdown with the Washington State Cougars.

UCLA closed out its first undefeated home season in 32 years with a 75-61 victory over Stanford on Saturday. The Bruins have clinched at least a share of the conference crown for the second consecutive year, and they can win the title outright with a victory this evening. They have won their last four games and are a favorite to grab one of the four top seeds in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

Washington State is the only other Pac-10 team still in contention for the conference crown, but it would need to win its final two games combined with a pair of losses by UCLA. The Cougars have won six of their last seven games to move to 23-5 overall and 12-4 in league play, and they are coming off a 58-54 decision over Oregon State on Saturday.

UCLA recorded a 55-52 decision over Washington State way back in December, and the Bruins own a commanding 90-13 advantage in the all-time series between the teams.

UCLA junior Arron Afflalo seems undecided if he will enter the NBA Draft after this season. If Saturday's game against Stanford did mark Afflalo's last a home as a Bruin, he certainly went out in style with 20 points and six rebounds. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute added 11 points for UCLA before fouling out, and Darren Collison posted 10 points, six assists and five steals. The Bruins knocked down 9-of-16 three-pointers and finished with only nine turnovers in the victory. Overall this season, Afflalo is netting 17.5 ppg, and he can score in a variety of ways. Josh Shipp is posting 13.3 ppg, and Collison checks in with 12.9 ppg, 160 assists and 61 steals. In conference games, UCLA is scoring 71.6 ppg while holding opponents to 60.9 ppg.

Derrick Low leads Washington State with 13.9 ppg on 41.3 percent shooting from three-point range, and Kyle Weaver checks in with 11.1 ppg, 4.8 apg and 59 steals. Daven Harmeling (9.9 ppg) and Ivory Clark (9.1 ppg) add further balance to the lineup. Strong defense is key to WSU's success, as it is limiting foes to 57.8 ppg on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. In the four-point win over Oregon State on Saturday, Aaron Baynes scored 14 points off the bench to pace the Cougars. Robbie Cowgill tallied 12 points, and Low pitched in 10 points. Washington State shot 50 percent from the floor and limited Oregon State to 37.5 percent. Also, the Cougars committed only six turnovers in the clash.
