UCLA vs Maryland on 12/14 by Jay_Robinson

Shooting is the most important thing in basketball, and the Bruins (Over 7-3) are particularly good at it – especially from inside the arc, where they rank third in the nation in 2-pointers made. Head coach Mick Cronin has been at this at some level for over 30 years now; his team is loaded with talent, including a pair of preseason Wooden Award candidates in senior guards Tyger Campbell and Jaime Jaquez.

Maryland (Under 7-3) are pretty good with the rock, too, rating No. 23 in offensive efficiency according to Ken Pomeroy. That’s well behind UCLA at No. 7, but enough to keep up their end of the bargain.
