On a night when UCLA honored legendary announcer Dick Enberg, the accompanying basketball game could be appropriately described in two words. With the Bruins leading by three with 1:10 left, Ball obliterated Dylan Ennis on a one-on-one drive for a layup. When the Pac-12 Conference schedule got tough, they had wilted, losing at Oregon, losing at USC, and losing at home to Arizona. Apparently their cause was helped by a mid-game speech by Alford in which the coach went “crazy” according to guard Aaron Holiday. “It seemed like we were really gassed out there,” said Oregon Coach Dana Altman.
