Bad because we want UCLA to count as a quality neutral court win and UCLA just got a whole lot worse.

You dig for reason's to worry.

they're 2-5 going on probably-missing-the-NIT type season. they weren't going to count as a quality win regardless.

It's crazy how bad they got so fast, adding the Wear Twins and losing only Malcolm Lee from last year should have been a net win for them, guess not

I very much doubt booting Nelson makes UCLA's team worse. Less talented, sure, but their team chemistry was a disaster with him.

There's just been something wrong with the team ever since Love left.

Once upon a time I was falling in Love, but now I'm only falling apart.

You mean other than apparently completely forgetting how to recruit, motivate and coach?
Nothing at all.

Yeah, their roster is almost exclusively 4 and 5 star kids. Just shows that you can't simply recruit based on player rankings. You have to recruit pieces that fit your team. I couldn't even begin to tell you what's going wrong there.
