ANALYSIS:
UCLA is one of the most elite and successful teams in college basketball this year. Carrying a record of 31-6, they are currently rated #3 overall (out of 363) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 12) in the Pac-12 (average ranking 84.3).

UCLA will suffocate most opponents with its stifling defense. Allowing roughly 86 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, this squad is rated #2 in defensive efficiency. UCLA will do a number on many an opponent's shooting percentage, as the team ranks in the top-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal categories. They allow AO to convert only 30.1% of their three-pointers (18th in the nation), 50.0% of their near-proximity attempts (fourth), and 38.5% of their total shots from the field (eighth). UCLA is also a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 19.83 vs. AO, they are currently rated 12th in the country in that category. UCLA lastly does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.8% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 22nd in the NCAA), and with a rating of 11.93, they're 44th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well.

UCLA plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 14th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 115 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UCLA allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 7.41, which ranks #5 in the country. UCLA is also one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked ninth in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 89.96 vs. AO. Even better, the team is excellent at converting those attempts. They make about 47.6% of their field goal attempts vs. AO (23rd-best in the country). UCLA lastly appears to be one of the top-notch offensive rebounding teams you will find this year. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 17.63 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 23rd in the NCAA), and they convert 6.7% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 46th) as well.

UCLA is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 41st in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
