ANAHEIM, Calif. - Long time John Wooden Classic participant UCLA will face Davidson College in the 14th annual John R. Wooden Classic on December 8, 2007 at Honda Center. The last time these two teams took to the court was in 1975 when UCLA beat Davidson 91-64 at Pauley Pavilion, the same season Coach Wooden retired.
This will be UCLA's fifth consecutive appearance in the Wooden Classic (11th overall), with a record of 7-3 in prior contests. Last year the Bruins defeated Texas A&M, 65-62 in the Wooden Classic. The defending back-to-back regular season Pac-10 champions finished the 2006-07 season with an overall record of 30-6. For the second year in a row, the Bruins advanced to the Final Four, falling just short of winning the National Championship.
