Climbing the ladder
The Bruins have been climbing up the RPI list in recent weeks, but Ben Howland says he's not paying too much attention.
Not with his point guard's wrist banged up and his sophomore power forward's ankle still swelled and his other sophomore power forward unavailable on Thursday night.
The Bruins are No. 41 in the latest RealTimeRPI.com rankings, one slot ahead of Washington, but hust as Howland might be starting to relax, he wisens up. He has other things to worry about.
"I haven't been following that much," Howland said. "I just know that if we take care of what we need to do, it'll fall into line. We've got eight games left in regular season, and we have to continue to improve and do well. I'm worried about Zeek's wrist, I'm worried about Brendan not being there Thursday.
One game at a time. Hopefully we can get 2 wins this week at home without any additional injuries and Zeke and Reeves can heal before the Bay Area games. Just take 'em one at a time! And T.J. Simers is an azz.
