The Bruins’ lopsided 88-65 loss to one of their traditional rivals on Thursday night at Pauley Pavilion was uninspired and uninspiring on every level.

UCLA basketball coach Mick Cronin looks on from the sideline during their 23-point loss to Arizona on Thursday, March 7, 2024, at Pauley Pavilion. in what will be the last regular-season Pac-12 game between the teams. Mostly, though: The least inspired, least inspiring exhibition of basketball I’ve seen … ever? And I’ve been forced, for work, to watch a good many of the Clippers’ too-early matinee clunkers.

Reflect on what a chore it is for this UCLA team to score; it wouldn’t surprise me if the players argued about it in the locker room. About who is supposed to do it this time, as if scoring were a matter of taking out the trash or doing the dishes. Or maybe cleaning the cat box. Changing a diaper?Everything about the night was off the mark – the intended section-by-section “stripe out” that was supposed to present a bold blue-and-white motif around the arena? A strikeout. Not enough fans showed.

I can write all that, and I guess I just did, but it’s unnecessary when the Bruins’ coach can do it better. “Look, I thought Dylan Andrews played as hard as he can play, proud of him, and Lazar in the second half played with some heart,” Cronin allowed.
