The UCLA basketball team had a bad Thanksgiving. They went to Sin City to have some fun but came back broke after consecutive beatdowns at the hands of Michigan State and North Carolina. The loss resulted in them plummeting in the AP Top 25 and making an initial appearance in the NCAA Net Rankings at 86th in the nation. It was a week to forget.
Luckily, the Bruins are back in Westwood for a four-game homestand which started off strong with a victory over Hawaii. It was not a huge statement, but just like Stella, the Bruins got their groove back.
