UCLA basketball coach Cori Close had a had a wake-up call on Tuesday as the Bruins had an unusual weekday morning tipoff. When was the last time you heard of any major college program starting their contest at 11 a.m. on Tuesday against a ranked team?
Though it was a game that not many fans attended, the Bruins still had a job to do and made a big statement in the process.
The UCLA women’s basketball team started their season just over a week ago at LMU with an unfortunate outcome. The UCLA Bruins (2-1), had a tough time on the road in their season opener as they lost to the Lions, 69-63, in a game that felt uncharacteristic of a Cori Close team.
