But fortunately for the Bruins they did Friday, and thunderstorms did not stop the team from outshining their opponent.

Everyone knows Bob Chesney.
He seemingly won the hearts of the UCLA faithful at his introductory presser Dec. 9.
Whether it’s his captivating speeches, his presence across the Westwood campus or his competition and accountability-based coaching style, fans know what they are getting from UCLA football’s newest head coach.

Just one win away from the next stage of the postseason.
But before the NCAA tournament picture comes into focus, the Bruins must first navigate a conference bracket that has defined the sport for decades.

March Madness may be over.
But the craziness of the transfer portal is just getting started.
And the Bruins just got in the mix.
One day after senior guard Skyy Clark entered the transfer portal, UCLA men’s basketball made its first two additions, adding Auburn forward Filip Jovic and Mississippi State forward Sergej Macura, on Thursday.

Consistency is built game by game.
And the Bruins are looking to find consistency once more.

Now, less than five days later, the rebuilding begins.
