At the onset of the college basketball season was plenty of Big Ten intrigue. The UCLA Bruins and Washington Huskies joined as part of the four-team expansion. UCLA has a proud basketball tradition from an entirely different era that has no relation to today. By contrast, the Washington Huskies have never been a serious College Basketball odds brand. Certainly, that remains the case this season, with the Huskies fighting to avoid the Big Ten basement. So far this season, UCLA and Washington are making gamblers skittish with inconsistent betting value.
