Two of the powerhouse basketball schools meet in a No. 7 vs. No. 2 matchup on Sunday night. For the UCLA Bruins and the UConn Huskies, a trip to the Sweet 16 will be the prize handed out in the NCAA Tournament East Region in Philadelphia.
UConn comes into the game after going 30-5 on the season. Dan Hurley's team beat Furman 82-71 on Friday. On the other hand, UCLA is 24-11 and advanced with a win over UCF in the first round 75-71. Ironically, these two have never met in non-conference play outside of the tourney. This will be the second-ever meeting between the schools. UCLA won the 1995 Elite Eight matchup 102-96 in Oakland, Calif.
Here is a look at the box score from Sunday's second round East Region in Philadelphia.
