UCLA is running out of time with at least 2½ months and 20 games left in the season.
The Bruins have only a handful of chances left to significantly enhance their NCAA tournament chances starting with a showdown against No. 7 Kentucky on Saturday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, part of the CBS Sports Classic.
“Obviously any time you can play a top-10, top-15 team,” UCLA coach Steve Alford said Thursday, “that's a big resume game.”
The Wildcats (9-1) are one of only three remaining nationally ranked teams on UCLA’s schedule. The Bruins (8-3) also will play No.
