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.

    UCLA/usc game

    by L. D. on 3/3/19Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom - Los Angeles

    The game was awesome. Had a great time. Seats were good for the price. But my only complaint was that the air conditioning sucked in our area. Section 219 row 7.

    Amazing game! Great seats

    by R. C. on 3/3/19Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom - Los Angeles

    Amazing game. Basically tied scores throughout the entire game. 1 overtime. 3 pointer by UCLA in the last 5 seconds gave the game to UCLA. USC vs UCLA games are the best... intense hometown competition.

    Great experience

    by Raidergurl1787 on 2/12/19Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom - Los Angeles

    We support the UCLA Mens Basketball team even thru the losses. We were very lucky to get moved down closer to the student section by Pauley Pavilion staff. On-site staff is just the sweetest and are some of the best people we have ever met at venues.

    Pauley Rocks!

    by Aramko on 2/20/18Pauley Pavilion - Los Angeles

    Took my seven year old daughter to a UCLA basketball game for the first time ever and we had a blast. Pauley was loud, fun and exciting. Ever since the remodel a few years back, it has become more fan friendly with bright, colorful lights, better concessions, and shopping options.
