LAS VEGAS—UCLA’s coaching staff broke down the X’s and O’s during a break in the action in the first half of the Pac-12 tournament’s second semifinal game.
But there was little coach Steve Alford and his assistants could offer for improvement, as the Bruins were walloping the Stanford Cardinal on the court, never trailing by less than 14 in the final 10 minutes of the half.
Instead, the clearest message presented to the UCLA men’s basketball team during an 84-59 blowout came from the crowd. A large handful of Arizona faithful remained in their MGM Grand Garden Arena seats in the few hours after the Wildcats downed the Colorado Buffaloes 63-43 in the first semifinal, and they had something to say.
