WHAT TO WATCH: The Bruins have been much improved on defense under Cronin, but they could be vulnerable to a hot-shooting night by the Buffs. UCLA enters the game ranked fourth in overall defensive field goal percentage in Pac-12 games (.438) but just 10th in defensive 3-point percentage (.379).

NOTES: UCLA has won the past three matchups against the Buffs, including a 65-62 win in Los Angeles on Jan. 2. … Four players scored in double figures for the Buffs, but CU finished just 6-for-23 on 3-pointers. … In his past two games against the Buffs, UCLA’S Tyger Campbell has posted 18 assists with only three turnovers. … The Bruins defeated Utah on Thursday night for their fourth consecutive win. … Utah didn’t attempt a single free throw in the game, marking just the second time in the past 40 years a UCLA opponent has gone without a free throw attempt. … CU’S win on Thursday against USC bumped the Buffs up eight spots to No. 16 in Friday’s NET rankings. … The Buffs are scheduled to complete the regular season on Thursday against Arizona State (TBD, ESPN2 or ESPNU).
