After getting peppered with questions about UCLA’s upcoming gymnastics meet against Utah in Salt Lake City, Bruins coach Chris Waller responded with a question of his own.
“You guys gonna watch?” Waller eagerly asked a group of reporters assembled on a videoconference. “You better all watch.”
The task of watching the Bruins in their biggest regular-season meet of the year is easier than usual. Instead of the Pac-12 Networks or an internet stream, No. 14 UCLA will face Pac-12 rival Utah on ESPNU at 6 p.m. PST on Friday.
No. 3 Utah (6-1, 3-0 Pac-12) and UCLA (4-0, 3-0 Pac-12) have split the last six Pac-12 postseason championship and the Utes, who narrowly beat UCLA 198.
