USC and UCLA will meet in men's basketball for the first time this season at the new Pauley Pavilion in Westwood. The game tips at 7 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks and live tweeted by @USC_Hoops.
Head coach Bob Cantu has had some decent success taking Trojan teams into old Pauley Pavilion as an assistant. Of his four road wins, he singled out the 2008 game when Tim Floyd's USC team knocked off No. 4 UCLA on CBS as his favorite.
Both teams are dealing with illness and injury. USC C Dewayne Dedmon is expected to play despite the flu bug, while the status of UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad (gastrointestinal illness) and Travis Wear (concussion) is up in the air.
