Ohio State was better than it was against Northwestern but not good enough to win at UCLA on Sunday afternoon.

The UCLA Bruins knocked off Ohio State, securing Mick Cronin his 500th career victory and inspiring hope after a tough loss to Minnesota.

The second of two college basketball games Sunday on CBS featuring Big Ten teams will see Ohio State travel to the West Coast to face UCLA at Pauley Pavilion. The main storyline of this matchup is the Bruins planning to honor the late Bill Walton-- one of the best players in program history -- during the game.

Both Ohio State and UCLA exit a loss last time out, but the Buckeyes' defeat was far more concerning. Heading to hostile Pauley Pavilion will only make things worse vs. the Bruins, per our college basketball betting picks.
