UCLA Basketball: The More LaVar Ball Talks, The More People Will Root Against UCLA

The coaches and players of the UCLA Basketball team have done one hell of a job turning the program around in just 12 short months.

Last season, the Bruins missed out on the NCAA Tournament after going 15-17. Since then, a change in coaching philosophy and the addition of freshmen Ike Anigbogu, TJ Leaf and Lonzo Ball have the Bruins at 31-4 and into the Sweet 16.

Though the Bruins have done extraordinarily well this season, the addition of Ball came with some baggage. The unfortunate part is that Lonzo Ball is not the baggage, but rather his very loud father, LaVar Ball.
