The 2 road wins you speak of were against the 2 bottom feeders of the Pac-10.  They barely snuck by a very shitty Oregon St team in OT and only beat Oregon by 12 because Rochestie went for 30...including 16-16 from the charity stripe.  Oregon has proved they don't play defense and are very foul prone so take away the charity stripe numbers...and that game very easily could've been decided by a couple possessions..  Simply put, Washington St is not a good team...I rank them slightly above the 2 teams mentioned here...and I think they could easily fall behind Oregon if that "Young" team matures through the season.  UCLA plays far better defense than can stay out of foul trouble.

Agree Wash St. is not that good a team this year compared to years past..and could easily end up with a worse record than Oregon St. this year in the Pac-10..but this is a very good spot for them at home..This game will be played in the mid 50's and will be decided on a final possession...

Also liking Minny at home vs Purdue

Home team is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Boilermakers are 1-4-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota.

It's going to be a close game since the Cougs have the top defense in the nation and are playing at home. They haven't beaten UCLA since 2004, but the last 4 meetings have been decided by single digits. Rochestie, Baynes and Klay Thompson are starting to play better offensively. DeAngelo Casto is becoming a force on the defensive end with blocked shots and rebounding. This is going to be a very close game that will come down to the last possession. If the Cougs don't win, they will lose by less than 5.
