UCLA ends its non-conference schedule with a home contest against the Maryland Terrapins.

Game 11

0. Friday, Dec. 22. 0. . 439. ESPN 2. 518. 6 PM PT

UCLA and Maryland years ago agreed to play a 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.

UCLA played well on the road last year when they traveled to the East Coast to Maryland 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 season’s teams but this should be a great game at the Pauley Pavilion.

History and Game Prediction

Four games have been played between these two schools in recent years: UCLA has won three out of the four games against the Terrapins.

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

The last meeting between both schools: UCLA defeated Maryland on the road by a final score of 87-60 last year.

Prediction: UCLA 79 Maryland 68
