Lew Alcindor, Bill Walton, and John Wooden haven’t played or coached for UCLA inside Pauley Pavilion since the late 1960s and early 1970s, but the Iowa men’s basketball team allowed the 2024-25 rendition of the Bruins to look just like those famous squads on Friday evening in Los Angeles.

After perhaps their best showing of the season in a dominant home win against Indiana last weekend, Iowa hit the road for a two-game stint in southern California and promptly fell on its face, giving up 99 points to the USC Trojans.
