At the EA Sports Maui Invitational, the Bruins will be joined by DePaul, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Memphis, Oklahoma, Purdue and host Chaminade. It will be UCLA's third appearance in the invitational.

In the Wooden Classic , UCLA will play Big 12 opponent Texas A & M in game one, and in game two, USC will play George Washington. It will be UCLA's fourth consecutive Wooden Classic appearance. Last year, the Bruins defeated Nevada, 67-56 in the Wooden Classic.
