The UCLA Bruins will renew their rivalry with USC this weekend at the Pauley Pavilion. If you are going, make sure to wear blue.
In an X post by the UCLA men’s basketball team, the team instructs fans to wear all blue to show their support against fellow Pac-12 foe USC.
Though the Bruins’ chances of making the NCAA tournament look slim, picking up another win within the conference could go a long way toward helping them secure a high seed in the Pac-12 tournament. Doing so against a long-time rival makes the possibility even sweeter.
In their first meeting, the Bruins took down the Trojans handily 65-50 in far and away their best game defensively against a Power-Six school.
The Bruins (14-12, 9-6) will be hosting USC (10-16, 4-11) this Saturday night in a ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ in Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom.

The Pauley Pavilion will be rocking on Saturday night as the Bruins look to hand the sliding Trojans their tenth loss in their last twelve games.
But teams like USC, with little play for at the end of the season, are always dangerous. The Bruins cannot be caught napping during the game if they want to keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive.
All the more reason to show up and show out in blue for your UCLA Bruins.
