LOS ANGELES – After the UCLA basketball team’s latest lopsided victory, Coach Steve Alford was practically giddy at the postgame news conference.
Not about the Bruins’ 14-point win over Stanford on Sunday or UCLA surpassing its win total from last season a week into January. Despite its wild success to this point, Alford couldn’t stop gushing about his team’s potential to improve.
No. 4 UCLA (16-1, 3-1 Pac-12) will attempt to display its latest gains Thursday against Colorado (10-6, 0-3) as it embarks on its second trip since beginning Pac-12 play with its only loss of the season Dec.
