Jerime Anderson News

Malcolm Lee led five players in double figures with a career-high 20 points and UCLA defeated New Mexico State 100-68 Tuesday night to end a five-game losing streak.

Rebuilding or reloading. It is a matter of semantics these days in Westwood. Just over a year ago, the height of euphoria surrounded the mighty UCLA Basketball program.

Deividas Dulkys scored a career-high 19 points and Florida State overcame a slow start and poor first-half shooting to win 82-62 over Florida International.

You know a team is in trouble when it searches for positive things to say after losing.

If the coach calls for a zone defense at some point this afternoon, that will be just fine by Jerime Anderson .

Markief Morris scored a career-high 19 points and No. 1 Kansas pulled away in the second half to beat UCLA 73-61 on Sunday, sending the Bruins to their fourth consecutive loss.

The Bruins played inspired ball against No.1 Kansas before falling to the Jayhawks, 73-61, on Sunday at Pauley Pavilion.

KU's Tyshawn Taylor fought to keep himself and the ball under control as he drove on UCLA's Jerime Anderson during the Jayhawks' 73-61 win Sunday in Pauley Pavilion.

Ben Howland does not often give himself over to resignation. He is a competitor, through and through.

In preparing for his teams blue-blooded showdown against UCLA on Sunday, Kansas coach Bill Self actually dusted off the tape from the Bruins 68-55 Elite Eight victory over the Jayhawks in 2007.

Four of the best programs of all time are facing each other this weekend. First it's North Carolina vs.

UCLA's season started badly with a loss to Cal State Fullerton, got worse at the 76 Classic with losses to Portland, Butler and Long Beach State, then got even worse Tuesday with the transfer of Drew Gordon, and it'll get even worse Sunday when the Bruins play No.

Make a list of everything that has gone wrong for UCLA just four weeks into the basketball season.

It has been just six games - two cruising victories and four bruising defeats - and Ben Howland is already collarbones deep in the most challenging coaching job of his seven-year UCLA tenure.

UCLA suffered its biggest loss of the Coach Ben Howland era with a 79-47 thumping by the Portland Pilots in the first round of the 76 Classic in Anaheim.

A couple of college basketball teams whose coaches no doubt would the game rather be taking place in March hook up at 11:30 a.m. today at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Gordon Hayward made two free throws with 0.6 seconds to play, giving No. 12 Butler a 69-67 victory over UCLA in the 76 Classic on Friday night.

Just to be clear about this, Ben Howland has nothing against the holidays. But if the UCLA coach had a choice in the matter, he might postpone Thanksgiving by a week or two.

After dropping its opener against Cal State Fullerton, UCLA tries to build upon two straight wins when it begins play tonight in the 76 Classic tournament in Anaheim against the Portland Pilots at approximately 8:00 PM.

Ready or not, here they come. After early-season games against a pair of Cal States and a beachside school known more for its stunning vistas than big-time basketball , the UCLA basketball team will soon face its toughest competition yet.
