UCLA Bruins Handle the Stanford Cardinal, 79-72
Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY SportsEverybody calls the conference tournament the second season. For the UCLA Bruins, they definitely need a second season, because we all know their first season was pretty bad.
How did the second season start for the Bruins?
UCLA and the Stanford Cardinal started out the game struggling scoring the ball. UCLA just didn’t struggle as much as the Cardinal. Heading into the first media timeout the Cardinal were 1 of 8 from the floor, and the Bruins were up 7-2 early.
While the Cardinal continued to struggle to score, UCLA could not fully take advantage of their poor shooting, as the Bruins were shooting 27% heading into the second media timeout and only up, 11-6.
