Jarek’s Pre-tipoff Thoughts:
I believe the phrase goes “there ain’t no party like a west coast party cause a west coast party don’t stop”. That definitely is true for the Huskers, as it really would have been dumb to come home after the USC game to just go back. Admittedly, this one is the far tougher of the two in LA. Also, who’s up for some really late-night basketball!?

The tip-off time is very similar to the Diamond Head Classic last season. The only difference is it’s nowhere near Christmas time. I’m all for a late-night party here and there, but I know I’m getting old when I need a nap before this game starts. Let’s hope Nebraska isn’t as sleepy as I will be in the first half. They need to wake up in the opening 20 minutes. I think they ultimately win, but barely. Score Prediction: Nebraska 76 UCLA 71
