About
UCLA Bruins Men's Basketball History
The UCLA Bruins played their first men’s basketball game in 1919, but the program did not take off until the legendary John Wooden took over as head coach in 1948. Wooden, nicknamed the Wizard of Westwood, remained at the school until 1975 and put together a historic tenure, racking 10 NCAA titles in 12 years, seven of them consecutively.
The UCLA Bruins hold a number of records in men's basketball thanks to Wooden’s dominant years at helm, including 11 NCAA titles, the most of any school. The Bruins have won four conference titles and 38 regular-season conference championships, mostly in the Pac-12, where they've been a member since 1928.
Many UCLA Bruins have gone on to play in the NBA and become basketball legends. These include six-time NBA Champion, six-time MVP, and 19-time NBA All-Star Kareem Abdul-Jabar, who played in three of the Bruins' NCAA Championships. UCLA's other five Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame winners are Don Barksdale, Gail Goodrich, Reggie Miller, Bill Walton and Jamaal Wilkes, and the very long list of other notable NBA players who are UCLA alums includes Baron Davis, Trevor Ariza, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Matt Barnes, Kevon Looney and Lonzo Ball.
UCLA has a long-running crosstown rivalry with fellow Pac-12 member University of Southern California, and its rivalry with close Pac-12 competitor the Arizona Wildcats is one of the most closely watched in men's college basketball. The Bruins' rivalry with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish goes back to the John Wooden days.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Rating: 5 out of 5 One of the greatest experiences of my life!!!!!!
by Nabs on 12/28/09Pauley Pavilion - Los AngelesThe game was great. The atmosphere was amazing. I had never had so much fun at a sporting event before. It also really helped that UCLA won!!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Last Five Minute Turnaround
by AZBruin67 on 12/23/09Pauley Pavilion - Los AngelesFor the most part UCLA did not meet my expectations until the very end. Lots of turnovers, hesitations on shots was a frustrating experience to a long time Bruin fan. Being down by 8 points with five minutes to go it started to look hopeless until UCLA started to look like the Bruins I once knew in the house Wooden built. The game was not well attended but as the fans got involved the table turned and shots were finally being made. As the score became tied one could sense the change in momentum. If UCLA had only played that way earlier it would have been a more memorable game. However, a win is a win and with so many losses to date the only way is up (hopefully)...
Rating: 5 out of 5 UCLA GETTING BETTER?
by RVANFLEET on 12/8/09Pauley Pavilion - Los AngelesI EXPECTED A 33 POINT BLOW-OUT BY KANSAS, SO WHEN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, I WAS LIKE EITHER UCLA IS GETTING BETTER OR KANSAS IS SLUMPING AS A TEAM.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Kansas-UCLA
by kram438 on 12/7/09Pauley Pavilion - Los AngelesPauley Pavillion was easily accessible from nearby parking and the streets that fed into the campus. The gameday staff was SUPER nice. While you could tell Pauley Pavillion's age, that's part of the nostalgia of seeing UCLA play in that building. The game, itself, was not a very good one, but that's something you can never predict. It was the atmosphere of a college basketball game between two top-notch programs inside a building that has 11 NCAA Championships hanging from the rafters that made it special.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Humbolt's point guard the bomb!
