The UCLA men’s basketball team will play its quarterfinal matchup at full strength.

That is to say, it will have of its players. The strength part is a different story.

Junior guard Malcolm Lee, who sustained a small cartiledge tear in his left knee against Washington State, was “very limited” in practice today according to a team spokesperson.

Wake up, football fans.

UCLA spring football practice is just three weeks away. The Bruins, equipped with a revamped coaching staff, will take to Spaulding Field for the first time Thursday March 31.

Because spring practice is open to the public, you can bet UCLA fans will be out in full force to catch a glimpse of a new offense led by offensive coordinator Mike Johnson and a new defense led by defensive coordinator Joe Tresey.

For the second time in as many days, the UCLA baseball team received a heroic effort from one of its All-American pitchers in an extra-innings thriller

This time, the Bruins couldn’t take advantage of the extra frames, falling 2-1 to Nebraska Saturday at Haymarket Park in Lincoln, Neb.

Juinor right hander Trevor Bauer struck out 17 Cornhusker hitters in 10 innings of work, both career highs.

Gerrit Cole is back on track.

The UCLA junior All-American pitcher who gave up five hits in a loss to San Jose State a week ago threw nine shutout innings Friday against the Nebraska Cornhuskers to lead the Bruins to a 1-0 win in front of 1,122 fans braving the 30 degree temperature at Nebraska’s Haymarket Park.

It was the second time in his career that he has thrown the full nine innings.
