vs. Michigan

11 a.m., Ch. 2

Site -- Pauley Pavilion.

Radio -- KXTA (1150).

Records -- UCLA 2-4, Michigan 4-6.

Update -- Although UCLA is coming off a dispiriting, one-sided loss at Kansas, home woes are of greater concern. Including exhibitions, the Bruins are 2-4 at Pauley Pavilion. Forwards Andre Patterson and Dijon Thompson were the only Bruins to play well against Kansas, but Thompson’s availability is in doubt because of a swollen knee. He did not practice Thursday and went through light drills Friday. Duke is the only common opponent of Michigan and UCLA, beating each handily.
