The 29-5 Bruins have a first-round game Thursday at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento against the Big South champion Bulldogs
The UCLA men’s basketball is headed back to the NCAA Tournament in pursuit of the team’s goal of a national championship after being seeded the No. 2 in the West Region where it will play UNC Asheville in a first-round game Thursday at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
The Bulldogs , who won the Big South Tournament title last week, are led by Drew Pember’s 21.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. The Bruins are headed to the dance again but might have some question marks looming about the health of Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year Jaylen Clark and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Adem Bona.
UCLA’s seeding puts it in the conversation for a national title, but with the run potentially starting without Clark and Bona, it dampens the hopes of Bruins fans who haven’t seen the program win a NCAA title since 1995.
