9. Pac-12 Play Is Coming

The non-conference season is all but finished which means that it is time to get serious. With both teams looking to win the Pac-12 Conference, every game from here on out is important.

The UCLA Women’s Basketball team gets the action going early as they start Pac-12 play at home against Utah (Dec. 30) and #15 Colorado (Jan. 1). UCLA was predicted to win the Pac-12 and will have to do it against Oregon State, Arizona State and Washington, all of whom are ranked and all of whom will be at Pauley Pavilion this season.

The men will have to go through the likes of USC, Arizona and reigning Pac-12 champs Oregon if they want to claim a conference title for themselves. Not only will it be exciting, but you can also guarantee that it will make for some good basketball games at Pauley.
