If you're a season ticketholder, check your email.
Otherwise, go to Calbears.com on Friday and buy your general admission tickets. $10 + service fee. Roughly $12.54 total per ticket.

I bought 2 earlier today.

Kidd is a big supporter of girls and women basketball. He sponsors a girls AAU team

Are players getting NIL?

Unlikely.

Proceeds from ticket sales will directly support the Jason Kidd Foundation which helps with youth sports development and mentoring.

I really hope the Valks wrap up the semifinals so I can go to this game. If they reach a game 5, it's the same night. I'm very curious how UCLA will play without all of their seniors.

It should be a fun game. We'll get to see.the freshmen and transfers play.

I don't imagine either team will show a lot in terms of offensive/defensive schemes in case there are any "spies" in the stands. Lol.

See you at Haas! Go Bears!!

This early we should have an advantage with 4 returning starters and 3 subs who already know what we're doing.

As usual, I'll probably feel guilty for not supporting my alma mater (but not that guilty).

I am guessing we will use only a seven or eight player rotation tonight because we will want to win a game against a good team with this much visibility. Others can get future playing time against weaker teams.

Probably would agree with this more in the Pre Portal Era....in other words, with the new faces, is the rotation already that tight, and figured out? I get that they returned a lot of players, but isn't there still an adjustment?
Maybe it's a tight rotation if they pass on giving the younger players any minutes, that might get you to the predicted outcome....

Since tonight's game will not be available to watch, please feel free to share your observations here. I noticed that the SEC channel is carrying exhibition women's bball tomorrow night (Bama vs Ole Miss). Hopefully-the USC game will be on the Big Ten channel next weekend.

I also just read that Cal men's exhibition game against Loyola Marymount will be streamed this Friday night as well as being carried on KGO radio. Live stats are available, too. I guess that there is not a sufficient fan base to merit such coverage for the women.

For those who cannot make it tonight, it looks like there may be an audio of the game on UCLABruins.com. But if it is available, you will have to listen to UCLA.homers as the announcers.

I bought a ticket, but then had to stay home with illness. The Bruins broadcast is available and now under way.

Is she being more aggressive on the offensive end?
