UCLA and Maryland agreed to play and home and away series between them and the Terrapins. Last season, the Bruins traveled to play Maryland in a non-conference matchup. This year, Maryland will travel to play UCLA in Los Angeles.
Dec. 22, 2023. . TBD. . 439. 0. 518. 0
UCLA played well on the road last year when they traveled to the Xfinity Center and defeated the Terrapins by a final score of 87-60. The Bruins played well from the start and they ended the first half holding Maryland to only 20 first-half points. Both teams lost some quality players from their last year’s teams but this should be a great game at the Pauley Pavilion.
