ben ball Stories - Bruins Nation
CORE BELIEFS
A few weeks ago, I asked what I thought was the key question holding back our team: "Who is the FIST of the Bruins?" Under CBH, our Bruin Team, like any prizefighter, has always had two FISTS to fight with, never going into any contest with a hand tied behind our back. One on offense (e.g. Love,...
Just A Typical Day For UCLA Basketball
Chris Dufresne from the LAT sums up a Humpday to rememer for Bruin Nation: It was a typical day for UCLA basketball and a really good one for UCLA football. "Great recruiting year for UCLA football!" Howland chimed at the end of his news conference. We will get to the recruiting news later....
"It ALL STARTS with our DEFENSE"

More On The Prince ...
WWL’s Andy Katz writes from Lake Buena Vista (emphasis added): If Luc Richard Mbah a Moute decides to return to UCLA, he has a chance to go to four Final Fours during his NCAA career, a feat that would be matched by fellow Cameroonian countryman and teammate Alfred Aboya, as well as fellow...
