The great UCLA center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar once said, "You won't win until you learn how to lose. I don't like to do it, to lose, but I can stand it.

A lesson the UCLA Bruins women's basketball team will need to learn. The LSU Tigers defeated the UCLA Bruins in a Sweet Sixteen matchup, 78-69, ending the B...

As the rain cascaded down on Pauley Pavilion before tip-off last Thursday, it felt like more than just a weather pattern; it was as if the heavens were mirroring the state of the UCLA Bruins' basketball program. With four consecutive losses under their belts, the UCLA Bruins faced off against the No. 5 Arizona Wildcats, knowing it would be their final showdown in the Pac-12 against the Wildcats. But the outcome left fans and players feeling as gloomy as the stormy skies outside. The final...
The USC Trojans had lost nine of their last 11 games and were entering a packed house on the UCLA campus of their cross-town rival before a loud, rowdy crowd last Saturday night.

But even a good defensive team cannot win without help from the offense. The Bruins have struggled on offense this season and it caught up with them again...

The USC men’s basketball team didn’t have enough to stage a comeback late as they were defeated, 70-60, by UC Irvine last Tuesday at the Galen Center on the USC campus. USC came into this game as the No.16 ranked team in the country and struggled in front of a packed Galen Center crowd. “They played a very good game and made some tough shots.

It was not an upbeat event. With the disintegration of the Pac-12 conference in the offseason, there will be ten schools leaving for three different conferences. UCLA, USC,...
