Be at your best when your best is needed.
Coach John Wooden’s sentiments continue to echo through Pauley Pavilion and Westwood more than three decades after the Bruins’ most recent title and more than four decades since the last one with the historic coach.
In the spirit of Bruin excellence, coach Mick Cronin once again brings in a talented class of four transfers and four freshmen – including a 17-year-old already named to the Julius Erving Award Watch List – to match with three returning starters for No.
Two programs. But one name, one city, one goal. The 2026-27 season sees two strikingly different circumstances for No. 22 UCLA men’s and No. 11 women’s basketball.
No. 11 UCLA women’s basketball enters the 2026-27 season coming off the program’s first national championship run in the NCAA era. The entire starting lineup that brought home the title has since departed for the WNBA, leaving little continuity heading into the upcoming campaign.
The Bruins rounded off their fall season in a hotly contested match play event.
UCLA men’s golf fell 3-2 to Arizona in the consolation round of the East Lake Cup on Wednesday, following a 3-2 loss to No.
The sound of USC’s fight song bounced around Rawlinson Stadium like a ball in a pinball machine.
It’s like the Trojan band, crowd and stadium speakers were all fighting to be the loudest sound on campus.
“Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoosiers! Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoosiers! Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoosiers!”
Chants in support of the visitors rang out from the sea of red in the stands at Wallis Annenberg Stadium, growing more prominent every time the Hoosiers found the back of the net.
Six set points fought off, multiple battles at the net, two successful challenges, digs receiving audible reactions from the crowd and bodies flying everywhere – including into the scorer’s table.
