Now it's UCLA that wants to extend a lengthy winning streak when the fifth-ranked Bruins (3-0) meet top-ranked UConn (3-0) on Tuesday night in Pauley Pavilion during a game nationally televised by ESPNU. UCLA has won 32 consecutive home games, the second-longest active home winning streak in the nation behind UConn's 67-game winning streak inside Gampel Pavilion.
UCLA has already achieved a couple of notable breakthroughs in the season's early going. The Bruins' 82-68 victory over then-No. 3 Baylor on Saturday was their first triumph over the Bears since 1996 and their first victory over a top-three team since 2008, ending a 0-22 slide.
