When UCLA Bruins men’s basketball coach Steve Alford addressed the media this week, he was immediately asked about two players that are out due to medical issues. Shareef O’Neal is scheduled to have surgery surgery next week. While Alford didn’t seem too worried about the procedure, he told reporters they’d have to refer to the medical professionals for definitive answers to their questions. Additionally, Alex Olesinski is out of the boot on his foot and is slated to return to action in late December or early January.
Ben Bolch of the LA Times asked Alford about the team’s three-point shooting.
