UCLA tonight

VS. UC RIVERSIDE

When: 8. Where: Pauley Pavilion.

On the air: TV: Pac-12 Networks; Radio: 570. Update: UCLA Coach Steve Alford has described this as “a dangerous game” because it’s coming between the Bruins’ championship in the Wooden Legacy and a showdown with top-ranked Kentucky on Saturday. “Our attention and focus, we’ve got to make sure these guys are totally focused on Riverside,” Alford said. “If not, then we could have a tough night.” UCLA is trying to go 8-0 for the first time since the 2013-14 season, Alford’s first with the Bruins. UC Riverside (1-3) is led by freshman point guard Dikymbe Martin, who averages 12.5 points per game and has made 17 of 24 shots (70.8%) in his last two games, including the Highlanders’ 85-67 loss to Utah on Friday. UCLA has won all four of its meetings with the Highlanders, having prevailed, 77-66, when the teams last met in December 2014.
