This afternoon, the UCLA Men’s Basketball team plays in the first semifinal game of the championship round of the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City.
After two lackluster performances last week against Central Arkansas and South Carolina State, the competition gets significantly tougher as the Bruins face the Creighton Bluejays.
The Bluejays are currently 3-0 and are just outside the Top 25. As a result, the Bruins will need to bring their “A” game to beat the Bluejays. They will also need to play a full game of defense, which is somewhat questionable after UCLA allowed South Carolina State to stick around as long as they did on Friday.
