It all began when a water main broke, sending water shooting into the air up to 30 feet, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Students were forced to seek the high ground as water quickly accumulated across campus.
While some decided to just try and find a way through it.
Here's the outside of Pauley Pavillion, home to both Bruins Men and Women's Basketball.
