• At the Jack Breslin Student Events Center, Michigan State has won every single one of its last ten games against teams that are not rated by the Associated Press.
• Seven out of UCLA’s previous eight games against AP-ranked opponents have resulted in losses for his team.
• Over the past ten games played at the Jack Breslin Student Events Center, Michigan State has won the first half of nine of those games against teams who are not rated by the Associated Press.
• Over the past eight night games, UCLA has picked up seven victories.
• A non-AP-ranked team has defeated Michigan State in five of its last six February night games, despite the fact that Michigan State is ranked among the top 10 teams in the AP.
• The first half of each of Michigan State’s last eight games in February, in which they were ranked among the top 15 by the Associated Press, was lost by the team that was not ranked by the AP.

The home team of Michigan State is the favorite to win this matchup between UCLA and Michigan State, with a -8.5 point advantage. In spite of the fact that Michigan State has been the superior team during the course of this season and has performed exceptionally well at home, with a record of 12-2, they have been struggling as of late, suffering three defeats in their most recent four games. It is a pass on the side for me to bet on UCLA because the team has a record of 2-5 against the spread on the road and a record of 1-3 against the spread in its previous four games. Due to the fact that both teams have a combined record of 8-1 to the over in their most recent nine games, I will be betting on the over 137.5 points in this matchup.
