Game is Saturday at 3:30 on CBS. Awesome to grab that time slot the week after football ends.

Gotta have this game!! We owe UCLA some serious retribution. I still remember being in Vegas when we lost in double OT in 2002. That was a serious gut punch. Last year was a little easier to swallow. They have been under seeded each time we faced them in the dance.

We need the column 1 road win for our non con schedule...and we owe UCLA a beat down.

Been reading you guys for years. Finally decided to jump in. yes, we definitely owe them.
Living in Southern CA since graduating UC way back. Last time I saw the Bearcats out here was the 2001 NCAA loss to Stanford, in Anaheim, when Satterfield played his best game ever, and then left. Going to UCLA to see a Cincinnati Victory Saturday!

Don't know much about UCLA this year, was hoping to see LiAngelo Ball vs Jacob Evans but that fiasco in China ended that.

Really interested to see what kinda of fan turnout UCLA has.

They have a 12K Arena and haven't brought any good teams into yet, so we are their first good home game of the year, previously they were bringing in between 6 and 8k.

As for some scouting on UCLA:
Kenpom Rank: #46
KP Off Rank: #41
KP Def Rank: #64
Best wins: Vs #91 Georgia Tech 63-60, Vs #60 Wisconsin 72-70

I've only watched one and a half UCLA games this year, so mostly just interpreting data. They seem to be a much different kinda of team than last year as they are only shooting the ball 35% from deep, compared to 41% last year. Also they don't have Lonzo Ball and thats a huge plus for the bearcats.

Thomas Welsh and Aaron Holiday are the 2 veterans of the team. Holiday leads the team in scoring with 17 PPG and chips in 5.7 assists per game. The ball is in his hands a lot and he will most likely play every minute of the game Saturday. Thomas Welsh is a 7 footer who can shoot. And he has extended his range out to the 3 point line this year where he is 6 of 11 to start the season and is grabbing nearly 11 rebounds a game. Kyle Washington absolute cannot leave him open in the mid range. He is deadly out there. Prince Ali sat out last year but seems to be starting at the shooting guard spot and chips in 10 a game and is shooting over 40% from 3.

This team also has 2 really talented freshman in Guard Jaylen Hands ( Ranked #22, 5 star) and Wing Kris Wilkes ( last #21, 5 Star) who play big minutes for the Bruins. Both are averaging 12 points a game and Hands is shooting 44% from distance. These are really talented kids that we will need our experience and defense to frustrate. UCLA also has 2 more top 100 freshman who are under suspension and are guys the Bruins could really use. When they get those guys back, UCLA will be a much deeper team.

I think UC matches up much better with UCLA than they did Florida or Xavier. UCLA can get to the rim but I don't think it will be very easy against UC's defense. If the crowd doesn't get to us and we don't completely miss every 3 point shot, I think we walk away with a huge win on Saturday.

LeAngelo Ball isn't good enough to even play in a game of this calibur.

He was the worst recruit in UCLA's 6 man class. Probably wouldnt play a minute against UC
