Men’s basketball strives to further heights for chance at Final Four
The No. 4 team in the country still thinks it is nowhere near reaching its full potential. That should scare the rest of NCAA men’s basketball. After jumping as high as No. 2 in the AP Polls before settling into its current No. 4 spot, UCLA’s 16-1 record should be celebrated for a team that […]
Bruin basketball cruises to 89-75 victory over Stanford Cardinal
This post was updated Jan. 8 at 7:51 p.m. No. 4 UCLA jumped on Stanford quickly, took a double-digit lead early and cruised the rest of the way. Not a bad way to win a basketball game. The UCLA student section lined up as early as 2 p.m. for a 5 p.m. tipoff, stretching the […]

Fierce offense key to UCLA’s 81-71 victory over California

The Bruins were still feeling it out against the California Bears (10-4, 1-1 Pac-12), leading 15-12 with three 3-pointers from senior guard Bryce Alford. Then UCLA’s star freshmen duo woke up the crowd. Forward TJ Leaf hit a […]
