STAMFORD, Conn. – Jan. 7, 2025 – The No. 22 UCLA Bruins (11-3) host the No. 24 Michigan Wolverines (11-3) tonight at 10 p.m. ET as part of a Peacock-exclusive men’s Big Ten basketball doubleheader, headlining this week’s college basketball coverage across NBC Sports.
The Wolverines defeated USC, 85-74, on Saturday as forward Danny Wolf recorded a 21-point, 13-rebound double-double. Wolf leads the Big Ten in rebounding this season, averaging 10.4 boards per game. The Bruins, who boast the Big Ten’s top defense, holding opposing offenses to 59.2 points per game, look to bounce back from a 66-58 loss to Nebraska last weekend.
Jalen Rose will make his NBC Sports game analyst debut on tonight’s Michigan-UCLA game alongside Terry Gannon (play-by-play) live from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, Calif. Earlier this season, Rose served as an analyst on NBC Sports’ Big Ten College Countdown studio show. As a member of Michigan’s famed Fab Five, Rose helped lead the Wolverines to back-to-back National Championship game appearances in 1992 and 1993 as a freshman and sophomore. He was a First-Team All-Big Ten selection in 1994 and was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 13th overall pick of the 1994 NBA Draft. He played 14 seasons in the NBA and was a basketball analyst at ESPN from 2007-2023.
Tonight’s Peacock-exclusive doubleheader begins with the Big Ten College Countdown pregame show at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by Nebraska visiting Iowa at 8 p.m. ET. Paul Burmeister (play-by-play) and Robbie Hummel (analyst) will call Nebraska-Iowa live from Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.
