If UCLA Basketball Head Coach Steve Alford cannot improve off of a15-17 record from last season, then he is doing something extremely wrong. This year he has some reinforcements and a new outlook on how to run this team, so there should be progress, but how much?
Last year ended horribly. The Bruins lost five straight to end the season, lost to USC three times which culminated in a 95-71 beating in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament and ultimately did not receive an NCAA bid. In a way, the only place to go this season is up.
