I going to break from protocol a bit and include my own thoughts in this roundup. I could just say the UCLA Bruins “suck” but last night was a “Steve Alford loss” on defense. Alford lost to a mediocre Colorado Buffaloes team last year at home when they shot 50% from three and some guy named George King made a career-high six threes.
Last night was similar with Shane Gatling for George King. As Thuc Nhi Nyguen writes in a story entitled “Shane Gatling, Colorado shoot down UCLA at home”:
A year ago, Colorado entered Pauley Pavilion without a single win over UCLA in the storied arena.
