UCLA men’s basketball needs wins against Oregon schools to improve Pac-10 record

It’s still early, but Ben Howland and company thought they would be better than they currently are.

At least in terms of wins and losses, the coach figured that his UCLA men’s basketball team would sit a little prettier than 9-6 after playing three games in the Pac-10.

“I thought we’d be a little ahead of this,” Howland said Tuesday.
