Freaking bruins, get out worked on both ends and for every lose ball and rebound. Alford needs to demand more from these guys

Saw the Bonnies in person this year on a neutral court

Fans travel well and are very passionate
I get the high RPI and all that, but the players didn't seem particularly talented or skilled in relation to other mid-major teams they were playing
I thought a team like UCLA would be a terrible match-up for them

Such a bizarre game, a bit of heart and hustle from the Bonnies and UCLA not taking care of the ball

A little while ago I thought this game was going to be as close as the Pa 18th but now I'm beginning to wonder.

If that had been Trier for sure it would be an offensive foul.

If the Bonnies were just wearing red and blue jerseys the Bruins would play sooo much better.

Best coaching job Alford has ever done. Time to extend him forever.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Bruins were favored by 2.5. I thought that was easy money. So happy I didn't lay money.

wilkes is gone anyways. I've seen a rumor that if Alford stays, Hands is gone. These missed games or limited PT seems to be a conflict of personalities.

Was more meaning that they will lose and win games they shouldn't which averages to mediocre. He has good players so they win games when the players are individually motivated (e.g. @Arizona) but Alford overall adds nothing.

ESPN is informing the world that the pac12 doesn't play any zone defense and that's why UCLA lost. If that's the case, then what the hell did we play against all season long?
