No one would say UCLA Bruins basketball was great during the Steve Alford error...er...era, but there were still some great players. While Lonzo Ball and Bryce Alford drew a lot of the press at the time for different reasons, two other players are playing key roles in the NBA playoffs right now. They are both great examples of the UCLA experience from opposite ends of the spectrum.
Kevon Looney only played one season for the Bruins. Looney was Alford’s best recruit from outside the West. Bryce Alford famously called Looney a “garbage man” as there were zero plays called for him.
