The first UCLA student in line outside Pauley Pavilion early Saturday morning wasn't even a UCLA fan, really.
Instead, it was Catalina Foothills High School grad Liam Giffin, a UCLA freshman who said he grew up a “huge” Wildcat fan. So even though Giffin showed up at 5:30 a.m, wearing a UCLA shirt under his CFHS sweatjacket, he said he would be pulling for UA.
“But don’t tell anyone in line with me,” Giffin said.
