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.

    Love the Team....Hated the Ticket Prices

    by Anonymous on 2/7/11Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Enjoyed the game...had not been to Pauley for several years. Having said that....our tickets in the second level were $55.00 a piece...which I found shocking. The arena was half full...no wonder with ticket prices like that. UCLA should let more students in to make the atmosphere more enjoyable...you should pass along my comments to the UCLA administration because I will not be going back with ticket prices at that level. This was a big, nationally televised intersectional game and the arena should have been packed....what's your take on why it wasn't?

    UCLA is ready for Pac 10

    by BAWS on 1/3/11Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Washington had a very good veteran team but UCLA forgot to bring its "A" offense and great free throw shooting. Why are they scheduling games when students are not there? That brings out all of the opponents. We had at least 20 Washington fans sitting around us. Where were the UCLA fans??? Schedule games after the first of the year!!!!! Why have a bye week now????

    by smresident on 12/31/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    I loved the game and the crowd. I was behind a double railing and had to do gymnastics to see the game!!! These seats should be sold with a disclaimer!!

    Bad Seat Location

    by UCLA1962Alumnus on 12/24/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Was very unhappy with seats but always enjoy watching Bruins play. I can deal with seats in undesirable location like high up or behind the basket but these seats were looking through 4 different sets of handrails... it was impossible to watch game and follow action.

    Fun off season game

    by Nancyucla70 on 12/23/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Lots of fun for a holiday outing. We live out of town so normally going to Bruin games is difficult, but you can't beat these preseason games during the holidays for fun.

    Not the level I expected

    by Frenchbasketball on 12/7/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Hi there ! I'm used to the french basketball, and i should say that the NCAA level is quiet the same that the Espoir level in France. Would definetely recommand you to go watch the nba instead.

    Basketball team played great, but

    by Bruinvestor on 11/14/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    the seats suck. I hope when UCLA remodels Pauley, they fix the railings so they don't block the court. Seriously, we could not see the court because the railings are in the way.

    Senior Day 2010

    by EddieDaBruin on 3/3/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Always a delight to catch a home game. We all wanted to pull out a win for the Seniors and the fans certainly did our part by making plenty of noise. Win or Lose I love UCLA Hoops! It's Pauley Pavilion...need I say more?

    Amazing Atmosphere

    by Jdg2014 on 2/28/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    It is just plain exciting and fun to watch a game at Pauley Pavillion!!!! The staff and the ushes are very friendly and helpful. The cheer squad, mascots and dance team are full of energy and talent! It was a thrill to see the 1970 National Championship honored at half-time and a honor of a lifetime to have Coach John Wooden in the house. The game was hard fought and the home team put up a fight to the end and almost pulled off a victory!

    Pauley is a great venue

    by jenuinejookie on 2/26/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Finally went to my first UCLA b-ball game at Pauley and it pretty much went the way I wanted it to. I'm not a really big sports fan to begin with, but I really got into the game. Even though there wasn't that big of a crowd, there was still a lot of energy from the players, the dancers, the alums, students and fans. Joe and Josie Bruin even came up and took pictures with us. On top of that, we won! Great fun!

    Trojans Were Awesome!

    by PaulK1 on 1/17/10Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    As a USC fan, this was one of the most enjoyable events I have ever attended between USC and UCLA. The Trojans played spectacularly and won their biggest victory at Pauley since it opened in 1965, and it was UCLA's worst home loss since 2004. With 7 minutes remaining in the game, many of the fans left the building, and at the 3 minute timeout, Pauley Pavilion was nearly empty. USC could not have played a better game, especially with Dwight Lewis scoring 17 points in the first half, and Nicola Vucevic scoring 17 points in the second half. It was a great defensive effort by the entire USC team over UCLA. I highly recommended this event.
