Anthony Grant's squad has one more opportunity to add a quality win in the non-conference portion of the schedule, as the UCLA Bruins roll into town. If the Crimson Tide want to be taken seriously for NCAA tournament consideration in March, it would be extremely beneficial to be able to look back on the resume and find a couple of wins over the likes of Arizona State and UCLA. UCLA hasn't played at the level one would normally think they would thus far this season, but this is still a team that is highly capable of having success.
The game tips-off at 5:30 PM CST and will be televised by ESPNU. [Game will repeat on SEC Network this evening at 11pm/midnight and on Monday 11am/noon.]
