Round three of Gonzaga-UCLA in the last calendar year takes place Saturday at 7 in the McCarthey Athletic Center. The Zags won both meetings last season, in Pauley Pavilion and in the Sweet 16 in Houston.

The Bruins are a little more than a week removed from handling No. 1 Kentucky, a game UCLA led for more than 39 minutes. This will be UCLA's first road game of the season and its first ever visit to the MAC.

My game preview here, as well as in the LA Daily News and Orange County Register.
