The UCLA Basketball team has a date with Creighton in their Hall of Fame Classic tournament appearance. Here is how to watch.
The UCLA Basketball team is 3-0, but it is a deceptive 3-0. Sure they pulled away from South Carolina State late in the game to force a blowout, but the Bruins should have conceivably blown them out from the beginning.

Last Word
This Creighton team is very experienced and their uptempo style matches with UCLA, something the Bruins have not had to matchup with in the early part of this season. The Bruins have not given college basketball analysts much to sink their teeth into, albeit the program has had some issues to deal with (China, indefinite suspensions, a president tweeting). Still, this Bruin team needs more time with each other to really mesh. Right now, their roster is barely being held together.
