The second-seeded Bruins are back, hosting the 15th-seeded Lancers as the private school from Riverside makes its tournament debut Saturday at Pauley Pavilion
UCLA, led by Charisma Osborne, left, will host California Baptist and Nhug Bosch Duran, right, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, March 23, at Pauley Pavilion.
The teams will square off at 6:30 Saturday at Pauley Pavilion in the first round of the NCAA Tournament as part of the Albany Regional 2. Calhoun, who played at North High in Riverside, is one of three players from the Riverside area who will take the court Saturday. UCLA’s Charisma Osborne is from Moreno Valley and Londynn Jones is from Riverside. All three played against each other at some point in their club basketball careers.
Neither team is getting lost in nostalgia, though, as the Albany Regional 2 features some of the most competitive teams in the tournament. In addition to UCLA , the top seeded teams are No. 1 Iowa, No. 3 LSU and No. 4 Kansas State. The first round at Pauley Pavilion will also host No. 7 seed Creighton and No. 10 UNLV this weekend.
