Men’s basketball schedule finalized

UCLA announced its final (more or less) schedule for the men’s basketball team that will start with an exhibition game against Azusa Pacific on Nov. 2.

Of UCLA’s scheduled 31 games, 24 are slated to be televised over five different networks or stations: 16 games on various parts of Fox Sports Net, at least three and up to five games on various ESPN networks, one game on ABC and three on CBS, plus the Wooden Classic televised locally by KCAL 9.

That’s 24 games, and either or both of UCLA’s games at home against Stanford and California on March 6 and 8 could be added as "wild card" selections for television. In addition, UCLA could qualify for the CBE Classic semifinals and finals in Kansas City on Nov. 19 and 20 and those games will be televised by some form of ESPN.

Of the seven games not currently scheduled for television, two are exhibitions at Pauley Pavilion on Nov. 2 (Azusa Pacific) and 5 (Chico State). The others are the opener against Portland State in Pauley Pavilion on Nov. 9, Yale at Pauley on Nov. 23, Western Illinois at Pauley on Dec. 18, and the afore-mentioned Stanford and Cal games at Pauley on March 6 and 8.

All of UCLA’s games will be broadcast on the radio with KLAC AM 570 anchoring the Bruin Radio Network.
