Join UCLA alumni, fans, and friends as the Bruins host the Indiana Hoosiers, and kick off game day at the James West Alumni Center, just steps from Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom Financial. Enjoy a delicious pregame meal from Bruin-owned Newport Ribs, featuring sliced beef brisket, BBQ chicken, Louisiana hot sausages, mac and cheese, Southwest chopped salad, and cornbread.

It’s also a new era in Westwood for UCLA Football! On December 6, 2025, Coach Bob Chesney was announced as the 20th head coach in program history. Bruin Bash attendees will enjoy an exclusive appearance by Coach Chesney ahead of tip-off, plus a lively conversation with legendary Bruin play-by-play voice Josh Lewin. Finally, UCLA Alumni and Bruin Report Online’s David Woods will also make an appearance.

Bring the whole family and enjoy Bruin Bingo, kids’ activities, and fun giveaways—all part of this ultimate pregame celebration. Take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to welcome Coach Chesney before UCLA Men’s Basketball takes on Indiana!

Go Bruins!
