UCLA Men’s Basketball released their 2014-15 schedule yesterday and it will BLOW YOUR MIND! Well, at least in the sense that it is unknown what kind of basketball team this will be going into one of the toughest schedules in Division I basketball. I AM SO PUMPED FOR BASKETBALL! Anyway…

More from UCLA Bruins Basketball

UCLA released their non-conference schedule at the end of July and we found out it is chock full of excitement including Kentucky, Gonzaga, Oklahoma and a few others from the Battle For Atlantis field. Yesterday, the finalized conference schedule was released to complete the season schedule, which includes every television broadcast.

Some of the more interesting things about the schedule match-ups have UCLA starting conference play on the mountain swing as they head to Colorado on Friday, January 2 and three days later at Utah. On Thursday the 8th, UCLA returns to Pauley Pavilion to take on Stanford and then Cal. It will be the first time the Bruins play a home game in nearly a month after taking on Gonzaga on December 13. In that time, UCLA will also have played Kentucky at the CBS Sports Classic in Chicago, Illinois and at Alabama.

Remember how UCLA got to play Arizona once last season? Well the second half of that shaft to basketball fans everywhere comes this year. The Bruins again only play Arizona, and Arizona State, once and this time it is in the desert on February 18 against the Sun Devils and February 21 against the Wildcats. The good news about coming back from that trip is that UCLA has a three-game home stand to finish conference play starting on March 1 against Washington. The Bruins then finish up with Washington State four days later and against USC three days after that.

A week later, the Pac-12 Tournament begins in Las Vegas and the following Tuesday, the NCAA tournament officially begins. Here is the full schedule:
