The UCLA Bruins (11-6) will aim to snap a four-game losing streak when they welcome the Iowa Hawkeyes (12-5) to Pauley Pavilion on Friday, January 17, 2025. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET, with the game broadcast on Fox Sports 1.
The Hawkeyes have managed to hold their own over their last ten games, going 6-4 during that stretch. Their offense has been a bright spot, as Iowa has scored at least 80 points in every one of those contests. However, their defensive struggles have been just as glaring, leading to high-scoring shootouts and several defeats. Remarkably, eight of their past ten games have hit the over on betting totals, even surpassing some of the loftiest projections for college hoops matchups.
Meanwhile, the Bruins are reeling, having dropped five of their last six games. Despite their recent woes, UCLA managed to pull off a stunning upset over Gonzaga during this stretch, preventing what could have been a six-game losing skid. Nonetheless, their ranking hangs by a thread as they look to steady the ship on Friday.
