Whoever handles scheduling for the Pac-12 Networks has a wry sense of humor, running a feature on the Pac-12 All-Century Team in the time slot before UCLA played Washington on Saturday.
Highlights of Bruins legends Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton on championship teams orchestrated by coach John Wooden were followed by the current team missing 12 of 18 free throws and going more than nine minutes without a point in the first half.
But a seed of something special might have been on display besides Johnny Juzang’s epic run of shot-making during UCLA’s slog of a 64-61 victory at Alaska Airlines Arena.
