Summary: Utah State Vs. UCLA March Madness Best Bet – Analysis by Griffin Warner (Pregame.com Podcast Network)
Introduction
Griffin Warner, a betting analyst with a 64% success rate this season (16-9 year-to-date), shares his best bet for the Utah State vs. UCLA game in the March Madness tournament. He believes Utah State, as a 4.5-point underdog, is a strong pick against UCLA.

Detailed Breakdown of Warner’s Analysis
1. Utah State’s Defensive Strategy
📌 Timestamp: (0:00 – 0:45)

Warner highlights that Utah State is likely to employ a zone defense against UCLA.
The zone will force UCLA to take more three-point shots, a known weakness for the team earlier in the season.
2. UCLA’s Shooting Struggles
UCLA has improved in three-point shooting as the season progressed but started off very poorly.
Warner doubts UCLA’s ability to dominate comfortably, particularly in a neutral court setting.
3. The Challenge of Covering the Spread on a Neutral Court
In the recent championship week, Warner observed that favorites struggle to cover spreads when playing on neutral courts.
Without the home-court advantage, he believes it’s hard for UCLA to cover a spread of more than one possession (4.5 points).
This insight supports his bet on Utah State +4.5.
4. Additional Picks
Warner also recommends betting on:
Big East Bends
Gonzaga -6.5
He mentions that this analysis is part of the Midwest Region preview.
Conclusion & Final Betting Recommendation
Best Bet: Utah State +4.5 vs. UCLA
Warner expresses confidence that Utah State will make it a tight contest, making them a valuable pick against the spread (ATS).
