When and Where: late fall and early winter in Los Angeles, CA
The Pauley – officially the Edwin W. Pauley Pavilion – was built at a cost of $5 million in the Westwood Village area of Los Angeles. It opened in time to witness 10 years of John Wooden’s era of dominance at the school, and has seen many greats come and go through a program that consistently turns out star power and NCAA tournament appearances.
