My Prediction
UCLA Bruins by 2Allow me to paint a picture here: UCLA Bruins and North Carolina Tar Heels are all set to go horns in Madison Square Garden. Bracing yourself for this much-anticipated contest? Well, you should be.
And no, I'm not going to bore you with ranking numbers; but this might tickle your interest that the Bruins hold the lofty 18th slot on the AP poll. The Tar Heels, well, they're yet to open their account.
Tipping our hats towards player stats, Tyler Bilodeau and Eric Dailey Jr have been the Bruins' mainstays. Let's face it, Bilodeau has been having a ball this season, averaging 14.1 points per game. For the Tar Heels - it's the dynamic duo, RJ Davis and Seth Trimble. Davis is racking up an impressive 19.0 points per game this past month while Trimble is not far behind.
Season records? UCLA Bruin's record is as polished as a prized trophy, touting a 10-1 win-loss. On the other hand, North Carolina sits at a sobering 6-5, a stark contrast.
Diving into recent results; the Bruins seem to be in gallant form, pulling off a decisive win against the Prairie View A&M Panthers. North Carolina, however, has had a tougher time, squeaking out with a narrow win against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but faltering against Alabama Crimson Tide.
So, after filtering through all the stats, records, and recent outcomes, if anyone was putting their money on it, the edge looks to be favoring the Bruins.
My crystal ball is predicting this as follows:
