Time: noon.

Where: Pauley Pavilion.

Records: UCLA 9-2, Louisiana Tech 6-6.

Record vs. opponent: First meeting.

Update: While swingman Josh Shipp is expected to return from a thumb injury, the news is not so good for freshman guard Malcolm Lee, who injured a knee in practice on Friday. An MRI exam was inconclusive and the knee will be reexamined Monday. Dorsey High alumnus Kyle Gibson led all scorers with 23 points in Louisiana Tech’s victory over Texas Christian on Monday.
