They have had more than a week off since their last game in the Big Apple. Per practice reports Coach Howland has been trying out a a little motion offense during practices this week. It will be interesting to see the result of those practices tonight when they take on Florida International Golden Panthers.
The tipoff is scheduled for 4:30 pm PST. Once again it will be broadcast on FSNPT. You can track it via the official site.
As always if you are watching the game, share your instant thoughts/commentary here in our game thread.
Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Prime Ticket
How long will it take for them to realize UCLA isn’t ranked #22?
3 turnovers already
But Jrue has all 5 points.
Am I the only one here?
Jrue Tracker
7 points already. He’s getting inside with ease, looking like he can light up FIU for about 30 if he wanted to.
UCLA up 9-4, 15:43 left in the first.
Amazing start for Jrue
Offensive board and put back on a missed 3 by Drag. 11-4 UCLA, 9 pts for Jrue.
Dragovic and Gordon
are the first subs.
Gordon with a nice defensive board, now draws a charge.
Holiday already with 2 offensive boards
but just made a bad turnover
Roll in for Shipp
Gordon / Drag / Roll / Holiday / Collison
I would like to see the freshmen play a lot of mins this game
We’re going to need them late in the season.
3-on-2 break
Roll to Collison to Holliday for the layup and a trip to the FT line after the commercial break.
19-5 UCLA, 11:18 to go.
Bobo in too
UCLA full courts. Lee with the steal, then athletically throws the ball off the FIU guy as he goes out of bounds!
Roll for 2! UCLA up 22-5.
26-5 UCLA, 9:43
Great feed on the break from Roll to Aboya.
Lee travels next time out, another UCLA turnover
Anderson now in.
Morgan / Aboya / Lee / Roll / Anderson
Bobo with a strong post move
Was on the left side of the court, spun to the left and banked it with his right hand. 28-5, 8:25.
FIU with 2 free throws
Malcolm Lee travels again. 2 turnovers for him.
28-7 UCLA, 7:58 left.
Anderson with the steal
after Keefe helps on a hedge. On the fast break, Jerime takes it up for a layup and is fouled. He makes the FT!
UCLA up 31-7 with 7:34 to go.
2 more FTs for FIU
UCLA up 31-9.
Bobo in the post. He got doubled, spun out and got fouled (missed the shot).
J'Mison Makes 1 of 2
32-9 UCLA, about 7:10 to go.
FIU cracks double digits around 6:05
32-11.
Jerime misses a 3, Malcolm Lee couldn’t save it. Jerime is really able to get in the paint with ease, he just isn’t or cannot go all the way to the bucket.
Jerime looked solid, now is out
All the freshman have except Malcolm Lee (though his athleticism is unmistakable).
UCLA up 32-11 but has 9 turnovers.
Gordon / Drag / Shipp / Holiday / Collison on the court.
DC with a nice move from behind the 3 point line all the way to the basket
Now a steal and he’s fouled in transition.
UCLA up 34-11 with 3:45
DC sinks both FTs
36-11, 3:45. DC with 7 points.
I know it's taboo on this board...
but I am going to go ahead and look ahead to Thursday’s game at Texas.

Drag with a rainbow 20 foot jumper
38-11, 2:55 to go.

Stuffing that stat sheet.
Beautiful pass from Holiday to Aboya on the break
Aboya converts! 40-13 UCLA, :55.
UCLA will have the last shot on another steal
Holiday beats the buzzer with a 3-pointer from the corner!
46-13 at half time. Jrue with 15 points!
SPTR's alive and well in Corvallis
a uncatchable pass interference call keeps a late Oregon drive alive. 23-10 Ducks, 1:19 in the 2nd qtr
Beavers should be embarrassed
Game is at home too, Rose Bowl on the line.
Sorry guys
Missed the first few minutes of the second half while watching the Civil War.
UCLA has extended the lead to 54-15 with 16:58 on an Aboya dunk, Holiday FT, Collison layup and a Shipp 3.
Now Holiday scores again (18 pts) on a layup. 56-15, 16:06.
Jrue and DC combined are more than doubling FIU
Jrue with 20, DC with 11.
DC's day should be over
Lee with a great move to draw a foul and he drains both FTs. UCLA up 60-17.
UCLA is going with Aboya / Drago / Shipp / Lee / Anderson
FIU with 5 straight points
Shipp answers with a long 3. UCLA up 63-22, 12:55 to go.
I'm guessing it will be bench the rest of the way
Gordon / Drago / Roll / Lee / Anderson.
Malcolm cuts inside, gets fouled. UCLA up 63-25 with 11:36 to go.
Scratch that about the starters...
Lee for 3, no good. Keefe puts it back in. 65-26 UCLA.

Lee tries to tip it in and is fouled. Somehow not a shooting foul.
Lee with a smooth bank shot
67-26 UCLA, 10:40 to go.

Morgan / Keefe / Roll / Lee / Anderson
Oof, Bobo nearly hit an 8-footer. It just rattled out.
Bobo with great position, is fouled as he goes up.
J'Mison goes 1 for 2
UCLA up 68-30 with about 9:30 to go.
Nice hook shot from Bobo
This time he makes it. I like his hook. He has some nice post moves.
football update
USC is absolutely dominating ND. Don’t get the civil war or the bball game out here so i’m watching the football game. SC’s athletes are incredible. They’re outclassing ND in every aspect of the game. We’re gonna have a tough week ahead of us….

Roll with 11 including 3/3 from 3 point land.
Jerime
gets in the paint, nice dish to Gordon who gets the bank shot after a nice pump fake.

Spencer Soo now in
for Michael Roll.
82-49, 2:25 to go.
Lee misses
gets up there for the board and puts it back in AND is fouled.
