This morning, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that, “Local police were called to the team hotel for both UCLA and Georgia Tech on Tuesday morning to investigate an unknown matter.“

Three Georgia Tech players were questioned and cleared, but the report also stated that a few UCLA Basketball players were also involved. It has not been stated which Bruins were involved or if they were cleared of anything.

The AJC went on to state that, “Police inspected the UCLA team bus’ cargo compartment as players on the bus waited to go to practice. After a lengthy delay, players eventually got off the board and returned to the hotel. Additional police vehicles arrived at the hotel around 11:40 a.m. local time.”

Alex Timiraos, a spokesman for UCLA, said that they are aware of the matter and gathering more information. Go Joe Bruin will pass along any information regarding the matter when more information becomes available.
