COLLEGE BASKETBALL — February 6

CALIFORNIA at UCLA
(California -3.5) — [private] UCLA has done a rebound of sorts, winning four of its last five games, and maybe that the sign of an in-season turnaround, as has often been the case for Ben Howland-coached teams. One of those wins was against Cal, which shot just two for 18 from three-point range when they dropped a 76-75 decision at Berkeley a month ago. The Bears have really been up and down; lately it’s been “down” for this erratic bunch that has shot less than 40% in each of its last two. This is the fourth straight road game for the Bears, who got very little production outside of Jerome Randle the other night against USC.

THE PLAY: UCLA +3.5 ***
