The UCLA Basketball team returns to Pauley Pavilion for their home opener and will try to build off their win in China as they are set to face Central Arkansas.
The UCLA Basketball team has a lot going on right now. First there was that whole shoplifting thing in China. That resulted in the arrest and subsequent loss of three players for their season opener. With that, UCLA barely took out a Georgia Tech squad that was missing two starters.
