UCLA Basketball: Inconsistent Defense an Issue In Loss to Oregon

Defense has been an issue for the UCLA Basketball team, though they have shown incremental improvements since last season.

The Bruins run an up-tempo style of offense which often keeps their opponents on their toes, but if the opposition finds out how to stop UCLA from scoring, the Bruins have to rely on some defense of their own.

Surprisingly, they have shown that they can limit their opponents from scoring with some good, but not great, defense.

What UCLA has to do now is become more consistent with their defense. They cannot pick and choose when they want to defend or it will be their undoing.
