The Stanford Cardinal finally made it back home, but now the task of turning it around gets a bit challenging, because they have to play the UCLA Bruins. Both of these teams need this win, with Stanford coming off their loss to the San Diego State and UCLA needing redemption after their loss to the Memphis Tigers.
The Bruins are staring down the barrel of a nine-game losing streak to the Cardinal and they have to play on the road after a tight loss. While these teams already have enough motivation to beat one another because of history, Stanford dropping three straight is enough to have everyone hitting the panic button on the team.
