Do the Bruins play better when facing adversity and the expectations are low? They beat Kentucky when few expected them to, they played great last week after falling way behind in Oregon and no one expected them to make a game of it, and on Thursday night in Pauley, down by double-digits when Star Center and Senior Leader Thomas Welsh went down with what looked like a serious knee injury, they really stepped up.
The spurt that mostly occurred right after Welsh was helped to the locker room ended up as an 18-0 run against Cal, turning a 13-point deficit into a 5 point lead.
