Ohio State vs. UCLA Game Preview

Ohio State vs UCLA Basketball Preview - February 23-2025

The Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday for an important matchup between these two basketball programs, both coming off uncharacteristically poor offensive performances: Ohio State only scored 49 points against Northwestern at home while UCLA gave up an almost insurmountable lead against Minnesota before blowing it and having one of their worst second halves ever this season.

This will be their inaugural meeting as members of the Big Ten Conference and UCLA is heavily favored to win by nearly three points in this matchup. Both teams play similar styles of basketball; Ohio State boasts one of the league's premier three-point shooting teams while UCLA ranks as an effective defensive unit that allows just 64.7 points per game.

UCLA Bruins Tyler Bilodeau leads their scoring average at 14.1 points per contest while Kobe Johnson and Dylan Andrews each provide an average of 3.2 assists per outing. On defense, Johnson averages an impressive 1.7 steals per outing while Aday Mara holds onto 1.5 rejections each outing for UCLA.

Mick Cronin runs an aggressive ball-screen coverage which can force turnovers from opponents. Bruce Thornton leads an effective dribble offense for Ohio State that draws defenders away from the basket while making plays off secondary creation.
