UCLA could face off against Purdue in their final game of the Maui Invitational tournament.

Game 6

492. 9:30 AM PT. 0. 518. 0. . ESPN 2. Wednesday, Nov 22

The UCLA Bruins are part of a stacked field of top-tier teams from big-name conferences that include teams like Gonzaga, Kansas, Marquette, Purdue, Syracuse, and Tennessee that are participating in the 2023 Maui Jim Maui Invitational. The way the bracket is set up, if Purdue defeats Gonzaga in the first round but loses to the winner of the Tennesse/Syracuse game and UCLA defeats Marquette but loses to Kansas in the next round, these two teams would face one another in the final round of the tournament. UCLA fans would love to see Purdue and star player Zack Edey in the Maui Invitational.

History and Game Prediction

Two games have been played between these two schools: UCLA has been victorious in both games against the Boilermakers.

Current Win Streak: The Bruins have won the last two games between these two schools, having a two-game winning streak in this series between these two programs.
