Most Bruin fans had their heads in their hands as the UCLA Basketball team started this game in uninspiring fashion. It seemed as if UCLA was going to struggle through yet another rough road game, once again putting in jeopardy the chance for the first road sweep in the Steve Alford era.
The way the Bruins have been playing, it was quite apparent that this could be a long drawn out game. It was, but that was because the referees had decided to slow the game down with ticky-tack fouls.
Luckily, that did not stop the Bruins who woke up from their altitude-enduced coma halfway through the first.
