Better luck next year Bruins.  After being thoroughly dismantled by Villanova in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, UCLA and Ben Howland have to look ahead to 2009-10. Villanova outed the Bruins for their lack of interior defense and for a Ben Howland coached team, their overall team and on-ball defense was lackluster at best. UCLA gave the Big East no reason at all to fear the Pac 10 conference, reinforcing beliefs that it’s full of soft teams who can’t defend. Don’t pin the loss...Read Full Story
