• DAVIS: Weekend picks: Duke-Louisville

UCLA will honor its 1964 and 1965 championship teams at halftime of the game.

From the school:

Blending the best of past and present, the uniform features the same lightweight Revolution 30 technology used in the NBA, while evoking a retro feel with the throwback letter, numbering and logos used in the 1965 jersey.

Adidas, which designed the uniforms, has previously unveiled throwback uniforms for Louisvilleand Michigan this season.
