The Bruins were robbed of a chance to go to overtime against Kansas. The call at the end of the game was questionable and not the right call for the better of the game. The referees basically said, "Kansas is ranked so they are better so they need to win. UCLA played well but Kansas needs to keep the streak (now 64 strait home wins) alive."
One positive note- Joshua Smith played well coming off the bench and stayed out of foul trouble. I would rather have Brendan Lane fouled out and being a non-factor than Joshua Smith.
One thing they need to work on- Ben Howland needs to learn timeout-management. He called his final timeout with 3:14 left in the game and he needed that timout at the end of the game to drawup a Christian Laettner (Duke '92 Final Four) play.
Final Note- things looking up for Bruins. A real teat early in the season and i give their overall peformance A-. Turnovers (19) and free-throw-shooting (64%) killed their chances.
