A Pac-12 showdown will take place on Saturday in Corvallis, Ore., when the Oregon State Beavers host the No. 12 UCLA Bruins. Both teams made deep NCAA Tournament runs a season ago, with Oregon State going to the Elite Eight, while UCLA made it all the way to the Final Four. However, Oregon State is just 3-23 during what has been a tough season, while UCLA (20-6) looks like it could make another deep run. You can catch all the action on CBS and stream the game live on Paramount+ with their must-have Premium plan.

Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET and the contest will be played at Gill Coliseum after UCLA won the first matchup at home 81-65 on Jan. 15.

College basketball picks for Oregon State vs. UCLA

Before tuning into the UCLA vs. Oregon state game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of almost $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.

For UCLA vs. Oregon State, the model is projecting over 138 to hit. The over-under in the first matchup on Jan. 15 was 145 points and UCLA had to carry the majority of the burden for the over to cash. Johnny Juzang, who is questionable for this one with an ankle injury, had 24 points and four of the Bruins' five starters reached double-figures in scoring.

But despite the season likely being a loss, you can't sleep on Oregon State. Dashawn Davis had 31 points and seven assists on Thursday night in a 94-91 loss at home to USC in double-overtime. The Trojans are currently No. 16 in the AP Top 25.

If Davis can stay hot, Oregon State can certainly keep things interesting against a UCLA squad that was already caught off guard on the road against a Pac-12 bottom feeder in a loss to Arizona State on Feb. 5. The over has now cashed in 12 of Oregon State's last 16 games and the model is predicting the teams combine for 143 points on average, predicting the over hits more than 60 percent of the time.
