Despite his team’s shooting percentage dipping by 10 percent in its last two games, UCLA head coach Steve Alford dismissed the term “struggle.”

On the season, the Bruins are hovering at just over 50 percent from the field. Through their recent swing into Colorado and Utah, they shot a sliver above 40 percent. Alford acknowledged some complacency as well as lack of execution, but said, “Two games that are on the road, that’s not a shooting slump.”
