VS. WYOMING

Time: 7:30.

On the air: TV: Prime Ticket; Radio: 1150.

Where: Pauley Pavilion.

Records: UCLA 8-2, Wyoming 9-1.

Update: The Bruins scored 26 points off turnovers against Mercer on Saturday night in a convincing victory that helped nudge them another notch up the Associated Press poll to No. 13. Even with Kevin Love gone to the NBA, the Bruins rank 20th nationally in rebounding margin at plus-eight. Wyoming has won four in a row after a one-point loss at Boise State. Guard Sean Ogirri has scored 51 points over the last two games and was the Mountain West Conference’s player of the week.
