In case you missed the wildest game of the season out West last week, UCLA rallied from a 32-point second-half deficit to shock Washington State, 67-63. UCLA was a 19-point underdog, and the Bruins were being offered at 20-1 odds to win during in-game betting. Nick Bogdanovich and William Hill reported that 22 bettors took a flyer on UCLA to rally and win at various points when trailing, and the biggest bet of $320 was made at 16-1 odds in the second half and rewarded with a $5,120 return.
