UCLA vs. Prairie View A&M?
The Houston Chronicle reported UCLA men's basketball will open the season against Prairie View A&M in the first round of the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament on Nov. 12 at Pauley Pavilion.
This is something I heard earlier in the week, but was told it was not a done deal. As of now, it is still subject to change. The two others schools in UCLA's pod is yet to be known.
Of course, don't expect any big time schools in the pod since the goal of the tournament is to get the four schools all hosting pods -- UCLA, Duke, Michigan and Southern Illinois -- to get to the semifinals at Madison Square Garden.
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
