UCLA Bruins on the road and NCAA basketball

1st game in Ontario Citizens park for all those who won't drive all the way to Westwood.
Loyola Marymount 1st game at Sports Arena.

Not exactly what I was looking for in the opener........does Howland have trouble with getting his players focused consistently? Only one game, but they seem to show up unprepared a lot during so so games that they should be rolling in. Players play the game, but preparation is on the coach. Well lots of work to do now and not so much expectation following this clobbering!

Loyola Marymount upsets UCLA at Sports Arena 69-58.

Middle Tennessee State? by like 20 points? LOL (3 point shots go in for visitors at Sports Arena)

Pepperdine at UCLA (Sports Arena) 8pm PDT tonight. Maui Hawaii tournament over :(

I hope the Bruins can put some kind of game together tonight, I see no improvement whatsoever so far. Didn't Howland have any practices over the summer? I also thought we had some good promise with our returning players, but so far they look like they regressed. The shooting is atrocious, the defense is worse and they look really lost on the court against every team they have played except one......What's up with UCLA and its sports teams? (Basketball and Football).
