UCLA and USC Men’s Basketball Teams Brace for Tests at Intuit Dome
The Hall of Fame Series at Intuit Dome tests UCLA and USC early with marquee matchups against Arizona and Illinois State to gauge team strengths and weaknesses.
- Friday, the Hall of Fame Series at the Intuit Dome features UCLA and USC playing separate games; UCLA faces an opponent at 7 p.m., and USC plays Illinois State at 4:30 p.m.
- To find out who they are, coaches booked tough neutral-site matchups early, and Mick Cronin, UCLA head coach, emphasized that `we have to be more physical` to define the team.
- Mick Cronin ramped up practice intensity and explicitly named Steven Jamerson II, Brandon Williams, Eric Dailey Jr. and Donovan Dent to enforce toughness, warning non-physical players they would be benched.
- For USC Trojans , the Hall of Fame Series offers a national stage to showcase their retooled roster, while UCLA Bruins face a key barometer in protecting the glass against Arizona Friday.
- Arizona Wildcats enter with momentum after a 93-87 upset of then-No. Florida, following last season's 57-54 turning point in the rivalry.
