UCLA's basketball team knows it has a problem. The Bruins' low points in an up-and-down season correspond to their failings on defense.
"We go a couple possessions in a row, or even a couple games in a row, where we play pretty decent defense," guard Bryce Alford said. "And then all of a sudden, I don't know what it is, but all of a sudden you have a lot of shutdowns, a lot of places where you break down. And you can't have that."
UCLA is second to last among Pac-12 Conference teams in scoring defense, giving up an average of 77.
