UCLA’s Defense Fails Them in 100-89 Loss to Creighton

I can’t say I didn’t see this coming.

Creighton, a team with a smart coach who can recognize issues with the opponent’s style of play, utilized a mix of attacking a shorthanded interior and open 3-pointers to win a commanding 100-89 game over the UCLA Bruins.

This was a game where the chickens for UCLA definitely came home to roost. The younger players remain inconsistent, and the lack of upperclassmen to provide a steadying presence is becoming obvious early. Last year’s team had senior leaders in Bryce Alfrod and Isaac Hamilton who could provide a steadying presence for the younger guys.
