There is a lot of debate about how successful UCLA basketball has been since Steve Alford took over three years ago. His first two seasons ended in Sweet 16 appearances, but got there along two different paths. Though it is never bad to get that far in the tournament, opinions vary on the fact that each season was successful.
In 2014, UCLA had a good season with a subpar tournament appearance with what would be five future NBA players. In 2015, UCLA basketball struggled the first half of the season with a roster that was a shell if its former self, but pulled it together for a remarkable run to the Sweet 16.
