UCLA Releases Injury Report Ahead of Clash with No. 2 UConn

UCLA released an injury update ahead of its clash with No. 2 UConn. The report outlines status changes for key rotation players.

Game background

The Bruins advanced after a 75-71 win over UCF. That victory came without forward Tyler Bilodeau in the lineup.

UCLA now prepares for a matchup with the tournament’s No. 2 seed. The team faces a steep challenge in Chicago.

Key injury updates

Tyler Bilodeau — Questionable (game-time decision)

Bilodeau (No. 34) is listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision. Coach Mick Cronin said he will not play Bilodeau unless he looks right in warmups.

The coaching staff is wary of stiffness or soreness. Bilodeau sat out the UCF game and the team has logged 110 minutes without him.

Skyy Clark — Probable

Guard Skyy Clark (No. 55) had a tooth knocked out during the UCF game in Philadelphia. He received dental care and is expected to play.

Clark missed 10 games earlier this season with a hamstring injury. That absence has affected his offensive rhythm.

Coaching perspective and team impact

Cronin emphasized player safety when he ruled Bilodeau out against UCF. He stressed responsibility toward players’ health.

There is concern about Bilodeau’s early-game consistency after extended time off. If he finds his rhythm, UCLA’s chances improve.

What this means for the matchup

UCLA’s offense has suffered some loss of explosiveness due to injuries. Minutes may not change drastically, but impact does.

The Bruins must play at a high level to compete with UConn. Filmogaz.com will monitor any late changes to the injury list.

  • Score vs UCF: UCLA 75, UCF 71.
  • Bilodeau status: Questionable, game-time decision (Mar. 13 noted activity in Chicago).
