UCLA and Cal Rematch Today at the PAC-10 Tournament

If you can really only afford to watch one game throughout the entire Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament, then this is the one. The sports world has been hyping today's UCLA-Cal Men's rematch as the centerfold of this week-long event, given the RECENT CONTROVERSY and tension between the two teams.
Defeating UCLA not only means sweet revenge for a "stolen win" (my bruin-centric senses are tingling), but is also Cal's realistic chance at reaching the Pac-10 championship and moving onto the true madness of March. But don't forget that UCLA has a score to settle; they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the tournament last year by, you guessed it ...Cal Berkeley.
The game however is being broadcast on FSN at 2:30pm, so unless you are unemployed or are lucky enough to work from home, you're going to have difficulty catching the magic. Unless of course, your boss doesn't mind you tuning into a certain website -- channelsurfing.net -- where all sports games are broadcast live, streaming, and for free.
Today's Schedule:
USC vs. Arizona State, 12pm FSN
UCLA vs. Cal, 2:30pm FSN
Washington State vs. Oregon, 6pm FSN
Stanford vs. Arizona, 8:30pm FSN
Friday's Schedule:
Semifinal #1, 6pm FSN
Semifinal #2, 8:30pm FSN
Saturday's Schedule:
Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament Championship, 3pm CBS

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
