UCLA TODAY

Site -- Pauley Pavilion.

Radio -- 570.

Records -- Ducks 14-12 overall, 6-11 in Pacific 10 Conference; Bruins 17-9, 10-7.

Update -- Oregon needs either to beat UCLA or count on Washington State to beat California to guarantee itself a spot in the eight-team Pac-10 tournament. The Ducks are relying on freshmen almost as much as UCLA. For the first time in school history, the Ducks have had two freshmen score 300 points each -- forward Malik Hairston, who strongly considered coming to UCLA, and guard Bryce Taylor from North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake High. Sophomore point guard Aaron Brooks leads the team in scoring (14.6) and assists (4.6). Ian Crosswhite, a 7-foot junior center who started against UCLA in January, was dismissed from the team last month for an undisclosed rules violation and since then the Ducks have sometimes played four guards at a time. The Bruins are looking for their first season sweep of Oregon in four years.

Tickets -- (310) 825-2946.
