UCLA Bruins Face Struggling Oregon Ducks in Saturday Showdown

Los Angeles, CA – The UCLA Bruins men’s basketball team (record not provided) look to build momentum this Saturday as they host the Oregon Ducks (4-4) at Pauley Pavilion. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 PM PT and will be broadcast on Peacock.
