Pauley's the place, all day and night Saturday
If you don't have a ticket for Saturday's UCLA-USC Pac-10 tussle in Pauley Pavilion, not to worry:
You can still see some dynamite hoops action in the building later that evening, via the 14th Dominguez High/Pangos Dream Classic.
UCLA fans that are in the building earlier in the day for the game with the Trojans will be tempted to hang around Westwood Village a few hours before returning later in the evening to watch a kid who’ll be in a Bruin next season.
The triple-header begins with Cabrillo taking on L.A. Windward at 6, followed by Dominguez and Riverside Martin Luther King (which is 15-1, with that only loss coming to unbeaten Mater Dei) at approximately 7:30 and Campbell Hall and South Atlanta at about 9 or so.
Campbell Hall is led by Jrue Holiday, who finished atop the balloting for the Best in the West team in a November, a few days before he signed a letter of intent with UCLA.
South Atlanta has one of the two best junior center prospects in the country in 6-9 Derrick Favors who, a year from now, could easily be rated No. 1 overall prospect in the national class of 2009.
Admission is $15 for floor-level seats and $10 for general admission, upper-level seats. They’re available at UCLA’s ticket office, as well as the usual Ticketmaster outlets, including its website.
