When the NCAA selection committee is filling out the 2015 March Madness bracket, the UCLA Bruins may look back to their game against California on February 7th and wonder “what if”.
The Bruins were on a three game winning streak with victories of Utah and Stanford and looked poised to make a run before their key matchup against the Arizona Wildcats on February 21st in Tucson, AZ.
Unfortunately, the Bruins slipped up, losing 64-62 at California before hosting two winnable home games on the week of February 9th. There is still time to leave an impression on the committee, as UCLA looks to finish strong down the stretch while making noise in the Pac 12 conference tournament.
UCLA has two home games this week at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, CA. On February 11th, the Bruins take on the Oregon State Beavers who are one game ahead of the Bruins in the Pac 12 standings. According to TiqIQ.com, the average ticket price is $64.90 with a walk-in price of $6. There are just fewer than 200 tickets available.
Three days later, the Bruins look to avenge an 18-point loss to the Oregon Ducks that took place on January 24th. The average ticket price is a slightly higher $87.02 with a walk-in price of $13.
Oregon and Oregon State fans can utilize Hipmunk.com for flights to Los Angeles to support their favorite Oregon Pac 12 conference team.

UCLA tries to shake itself off after stumbling against California with two key home games this week at Pauley Pavilion. If they put together a win streak during the next few games, their highly anticipated showdown against Arizona will carry an even heavier meaning.
