UCLA basketball fans have to be awfully encouraged by the start of their season. While it's still very early, the Bruins already have a statement victory on their ledger after beating Arizona earlier this week.
Trent Perry led the team in scoring with 21 points, and prized foreign recruit Nikola Kusturica had a solid debut, scoring 10 points to go along with five rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks. The Bruins look to keep the momentum going against the Ospreys of North Florida.
If you are looking for some betting advice for the matchup, we've got you covered. Here are the latest odds for the game, courtesy of BetMGM.

North Florida vs. UCLA prediction, pick:
For those unfamiliar with Ospreys hoops, they play in the Atlantic Sun Conference
under second-year head coach Bobby Kennen. North Florida finished 7-25 last year and has not made the NCAA tournament since the 2014-2015 campaign.
The Ospreys won their first game of the season against California Baptist out of the Big West. Five players scored in double figures, led by Kent Jackson's 15 points.
Obviously, North Florida's chances of hanging with UCLA are remote at best, so look for UCLA head coach Mick Cronin to get his bench involved more in this game since the result should be decided early on.
Prediction: UCLA 93, North Florida 64
Best Bet: Over 155.5
