Interim UCLA basketball coach Murry Bartow has the team playing much better. I am enjoying watching UCLA again. To be clear, it is fun to watch UCLA basketball again.
That said. Is it good? Hell no. The offense is, at times, ugly. But here is the thing: there is no mixed feelings that, if we make a run in this terrible Pac-12, we may be stuck with Alford for another year. There is no more dreading the postgame press conference with excuses from Alford saying how “young” we are. There is also the fun of knowing that the UCLA Bruins could win every game in the Pac-12 except at Utah, but not knowing for sure what will happen on any given night.
