    The Bruins' victory over the Kentucky Wildcats in 1975 was Coach John Wooden's final game and UCLA's 10th national basketball championship in 12 years. All John Wooden's teams played their home games at Pauley Pavilion, but it's been closed for renovation for the past two years. Now, at a time when the University of California is raising tuition and cutting classes, it's about to re-open at a cost of $136 million. KCRW's Saul Gonzalez has taken a look at what the players and fans can expect for the money.
