UCLA guard Michael Roll is expected to miss practice with flu today and his status remains uncertain for Tuesday’s game against Colorado State.

Roll has the same symptoms that forced forward Nikola Dragovic to miss time recently.

‘Apparently, there’s a virus going around,’ Coach Ben Howland said. ‘A stomach thing.’
