Saturday's home loss against Liberty was apparently the final straw for UCLA basketball's time with head coach Steve Alford.
According to Seth Davis of The Athletic, UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero fired Alford following a four-game losing streak that dropped the Bruins to 7-6 this season. Davis noted there will be an official announcement from the Pac-12 school in the near future even though there is "no indication yet who will serve as interim coach for remainder of the season."
UCLA hired Alford prior to the 2013-14 campaign, and he made the NCAA tournament in four of his first five years before a lackluster start in his sixth.
