College basketball’s fiercest West Coast rivalry is back as the UCLA Bruins and Gonzaga Bulldogs battle for national relevance and NCAA Tournament seeding. How will Donovan Dent’s health and Mick Cronin’s lineup shakeups challenge Gonzaga’s dominant frontcourt of Graham Ike and Braden Huff? Will the Bruins’ struggles to defend the paint haunt them, or can their perimeter game and bench production tip the scales in their favor?

Zach Anderson Yoxsimer and Andy Patton spotlight key matchups, including the scoring threats of Tyon Grant-Foster and the disruptive potential of UCLA’s Trent Perry. The hosts dissect crucial factors like offensive rebounding, transition play, and foul trouble—issues that could define the contest at Climate Pledge Arena, where Gonzaga has yet to win. With detailed roster analysis, NCAA seeding predictions, and bold calls for which role players will decide the game, this is must-listen insight on a clash that could shake up the college hoops landscape.
