UCLA coach Ben Howland met the media and a primary topic remained the loss to Washington State.
He said the Bruins aren’t as quick this season as in the last few, and that is a reason why teams are able to attack UCLA’s double team better.
Howland also talked about the ability of former players like Arron Afflalo, Russell Westbrook and Cedric Bozeman to take it personally when an opponent scored on him.
I asked him if anyone on the roster was doing that this season.
“It’s learning to be like that,” Howland said. “Malcolm (Lee) has that in his future. I think Jrue (Holiday), for a freshman, has done a good job. But the thing is you have to do that every day.”
Howland said the starting lineup will remain the same.
