When: 11:30 a.m. PST.

Where: Atlantis Arena, Nassau, Bahamas.

On the air: TV: ESPN2; Radio: 570.

Records: UCLA 4-0, Oklahoma 2-1.

Update: Heading into the season, it looked as though UCLA would be the underdog against the Sooners. But a 4-0 start for the Bruins, and an Oklahoma loss to Creighton, have added considerable intrigue to this opening-round game in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament. UCLA is averaging 95.2 points per game, but the Bruins will have to remember to play defense against Oklahoma’s talented guards. The Sooners are shooting 40.9% from three-point range and are led by Buddy Hield, who is averaging 20.7 points per game. The winner will take on the winner of North Carolina-Butler in a second-round game Thursday.
