In what was a frustrating, absurd and downright exasperating season in Westwood, the end it met against St. Bonaventure was rather fitting.
On the court, UCLA looked disjointed, disinterested and dispirited, almost as if they’d never seen a zone defense in their life. Kris Wilkes was suspended for the start of the game, Thomas Welsh only took 5 shots in his last game as a Bruin, and Aaron Holiday had 10 turnovers by himself and was unable to drag the Bruins across the line. Steve Alford had no answers, and his team’s play reflected the apparent lack of preparation.
