No. 9 UCLA hosts Long Beach State after record win

No. 9 UCLA hosts Long Beach State at Pauley Pavilion on Monday, with the Bruins looking to extend their 3-0 start. UCLA is coming off a 106-37 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, in which it held the Lions to nine first-half points and forced 30 turnovers; Trent Perry’s playmaking and a deep group of scorers have helped fuel the early run. Long Beach State has shown resilience in close games, including a 62-59 win over Pacific, but its largely rebuilt roster faces a major test against UCLA’s defense. The game tips off at 7 p.m. PT and will air on Big Ten Network.
