It was a whole new game for the UCLA Bruins last night in 92-70 win over Stanford. As Ben Bolch points out in the LA Times:
A lusty ovation.
The acoustics were far more pleasing for the Bruins on Thursday night on their home court than they had been in weeks. Fans who vacillated between booing the team and steeping in uneasy silence during the end of the Steve Alford era became enthusiastic supporters anew.
AP’s Beth Harris said it was the loudest cheers of the season:
Although Pauley Pavilion was just over half full at 8,026, as it was for much of Alford’s tenure, the same fans who booed the Bruins last weekend responded with the loudest cheers of the season.
