After the game, Alford responded via Twitter:

It’s easy to talk when you’ve earned the right like Alford has.
Alford blew up for 37 points on 9-for-14 shooting on threes in Thursday’s win over Colorado. He scored 15 against Utah and is averaging 17.9 points per game while shooting 47 percent on threes.
Some may downplay his achievements because he is the son of the head coach, but there is little doubt that Alford belongs on the No. 4-ranked Bruins. He’s put together a very strong career at UCLA.
