UCLA Seeks Some Momentum in Game With Washington St.

After finally winning at the University of Washington and while pondering his next date at Washington State today, UCLA Coach Walt Hazzard cautioned: “We’re not going to say we’re on a roll yet.”

But that is the goal at this point in the season, with precious few games to roll through. To get on a roll. To pick up some momentum going into the conference tournament in two weeks.

The Bruins are down to three games left on the regular-season schedule--today’s 3 p.m. game at Pullman and home games next week against Stanford and California.

UCLA, 13-13 overall and alone in fourth place in the Pacific 10 Conference with a record of 9-6, is jockeying for a favorable seeding for the conference tournament. Stanford is in second place with Oregon State.

Washington State is 11-13 overall, 6-9 in the Pac-10 and had lost four straight Pac-10 games before beating USC, 62-52, Thursday night.
