No. 2 UCLA has rolled through its non-conference schedule, but one more bona fide challenge awaits the Bruins before PAC-12 play begins. 

Undefeated UCLA puts its 9-0 record on the line when it takes on No. 12 Ohio State in a top-15 clash Monday night at Value City Arena. 

The Bruins have already toppled a pair of ranked opponents this season, beating UConn and Florida State with relative ease. Six UCLA players average double-figures in scoring, including center Lauren Betts (17.0 points and 9.2 rebounds per game) and guard Kiki Rice (13.3 points and 6.9 assists per game). 

The Buckeyes enter the game at 9-1 with a perfect 6-0 record at home. They have notched nine straight wins since dropping their season-opener to No. 5 USC. Guard Jacy Sheldon and forward Cotie McMahon lead their offense, each averaging nearly 17 points per game.
