UCLA aims to extend its 13-1 home streak against Washington, seeking NCAA Tournament momentum despite key injuries to Washington's players.

UCLA seeks to extend its 13-1 home record against Washington at Pauley Pavilion, aiming to maintain momentum ahead of key road games against Michigan and Michigan State for NCAA Tournament hopes. The Bruins, who defeated Rutgers 98-66, have adjusted to the absence of leading scorer Skyy Clark, with Tyler Bilodeau averaging 18.2 points and extending his 18-point streak to four games, and Donovan Dent contributing with back-to-back double-doubles. Washington, despite a 4-8 Big Ten record, has shown resilience with four road wins, including a 76-62 victory at Northwestern, but faces setbacks with freshman JJ Mandaquit likely out for the season due to a foot injury and guard Wesley Yates III briefly exiting their game against Iowa.
