The Niche Players to spice up Sunday night with '8-Ball Comedy' at Westwood Brewing Company

Let’s face it ““ Sundays suck. With Monday just around the corner, Sunday nights can pass uneventfully, as one gets ready for another workday or school day. To help make the transition from weekend to weekday a bit easier, The Niche Players are hosting a show at Westwood Brewing Company on Sunday called “8-Ball Comedy.”

Travis and David Wear ready to contribute

It’s been more than a year since UCLA forwards Travis and David Wear have played in an NCAA game.

The rising redshirt sophomore twins been going at their teammates and each other in practice over the course of that year after transferring from North Carolina at the conclusion of their freshman season. Now, they have just one offseason left before they take the floor for the Bruins in the fall.

“I trimmed my body down. I got a lot more lean and a lot more cut,” Travis said. “I’ve been doing a lot of lifting and yoga, and I think I’m a lot more athletic.”

The Daily Bruin got a chance to see the pair compete at a team workout Wednesday morning in a number of drills that included a look at their outside shooting game.

“I think we both shoot the ball equally well,” Travis said. “He might shoot it more often because he’s playing the three more but I would say that both of our jump shots are equal and both of our inside games are equal.”

For those having trouble distinguishing between the twins, David is in a white top and makes the first jumper in the video. Travis is wearing a grey top and makes the second fallaway jumper.
