Pac-12 announces home, away alignment for UCLA men's basketball
The Bruins schedule is continuing to take shape.
Early last week, UCLA men's basketball announced its entire 13-game nonconference slate for the 2020-2021 season, including two early games against conference opponents Colorado and Washington in December. Thursday, the Pac-12 released the home and away splits for the remaining 18 games on the Bruins' conference schedule.
UCLA will open things up at home around New Year's, playing host to Arizona State and Arizona. Following a visit to the Bay Area schools, the Bruins will be back at Pauley Pavilion to host Oregon State and Oregon.
Three of the following four weekends will be spent on the road against the Mountain schools, the Arizonas and crosstown rival USC, with home games against California and Stanford wedged in between. Washington and Washington State will travel down to Los Angeles in mid-February before UCLA makes a trip up to the Oregons.
UCLA and USC will have a rematch in Westwood on the first weekend of March to wrap things up before the Pac-12 tournament gets underway in Las Vegas.
Missing from the projected conference schedule are a weekend trip to Washington and Washington State and a home series against Colorado and Utah. The Huskies will host the Bruins in one of the early Pac-12 games, however, and the Buffaloes will come to Las Angeles in December. That means the road game at Washington State and home game against Utah are the only holes in UCLA's schedule this year.
The exact dates of the upcoming games will be determined by the Pac-12 in September.
