In a season that has been a far cry from what the UCLA men’s basketball team has grown accustomed to, at least one thing has remained constant for the Bruins: a win in Pullman, Wash.
The Bruins (12-13, 7-6 Pac-10) defeated Washington State for the 17th consecutive time at Beasley Coliseum, the latest one an emphatic 71-51 win in front of a sparse and subdued crowd of 6,566.

To say that the UCLA men’s basketball team is in an unusual position for the middle of February would be a tremendous understatement.

For the third time this season, a freshman made his first collegiate start under high-pressure situations.

With a little more than two minutes left in the game, the UCLA men’s basketball team was still in it.

Embarrassing. Disappointing. A low point in the season.
That’s how the UCLA men’s basketball team described the last game against its crosstown rival USC, a 67-46 shellacking at the hands of the Trojans on Jan. 16 at Pauley Pavilion.

In a game in which freshman forward Tyler Honeycutt was seemingly everywhere on the court, it was only appropriate that he found himself right in the middle of the action late in the second half with the outcome still up in the air.
