The thing about UCLA basketball’s loss to Arizona State is that you already know what I am going to write before you read it. It was the same old patterns. The same old runs. The same old basketball under Steve Alford.
The only problem is that Alford is not here anymore, but the Bruins continue to play as if he was.
After getting embarrassed at USC last weekend, one would expect that the Bruins would come out against Arizona State on fire. Which they did. But one could also predict that they would let up off the gas, which they also did.
