UCLA TONIGHT

vs. Temple, 8, ESPNU

Site -- Pauley Pavilion.

Radio -- 570.

Records -- UCLA 1-0, Temple 1-0.

Update -- UCLA won a slight advantage in tonight’s second-round game of the NIT Season Tip-Off tournament when it was awarded home-court advantage. The bigger advantage, however, figures to be in the backcourt, where UCLA guards Jordan Farmar (6 feet 2) and Darren Collison (6-0) will be hard-pressed to defend Temple guards Mardy Collins (6-6), Dustin Salisbery (6-5) and Mark Tyndale (also 6-5). Look for Cedric Bozeman (6-6) and Arron Afflalo (6-5) to spend a lot of time in the face of the Owls’ guards.

Tickets -- (310) 825-2946.
