UCLA honors late Jalen Hill, runs '24 Out' play to open game

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA honored former player Jalen Hill on Saturday by calling a lob play named "24 Out" to start the Bruins' 87-64 win over Denver.

Hill, who died in September at age 22, wore the No. 24 when he played parts of three seasons at UCLA before retiring after the 2020-21 season.

The Bruins honored Hill in a pregame ceremony Saturday, with his family standing midcourt next to Hill's No. 24 jersey and a wreath. Players and coaches surrounded Hill's family and embraced his mother, father and other family members in attendance.
