The 2009-10 college basketball season looks to be a rebuilding situation for UCLA, which lost three senior leaders, but the Bruins will still get a piece of the national spotlight.

ESPN will send its College GameDay crew to Seattle when UCLA faces Washington on Feb. 20.

The Huskies and Bruins played two emotional games last season, finishing one-two in the Pacific 10 Conference standings.
