UCLA may have lost to Washington on Thursday and finished second in the Pac-10, but their 22-9 season and 13-5 conference record was still a welcome surprise for all Bruins fans. Think about it — this team started off the year 3-4 and after the …
UCLA pulled off a huge, emotional win on Saturday beating Arizona 71-49 in the final game at Pauley Pavilion before it undergoes renovations. The Bruins boat-raced the Wildcats, going up by double-digits and blowing them out in the second half. …
