Sports: Bruins in ruins?

That was quick ... we knew year 1 would be tough and it was. Year 2 got the Bruins back in the NCAA.

Years 3-4-5 were magic carpet rides to the Final Four.

Year 6 showed some slippage as the Bruins were eliminated in round 2 of the NCAA which wasn't unexpected given the talent level of that team.

Year 7 ... the team has fallen off the edge of the world. 8-(

The fans are getting restless.

How long before there is a http://www.firebenhowland.com just like there was a Fire Karl Dorrell blogspot?

Howland has earned some wiggle room because of years 1-5.

And as far as we can tell, he is running a clean program on and off the court.

But there are concerns about recent recruiting and starting/bench rotations.

Hopefully, Howland can make some adjustments on the floor and in recruiting and that this group of players will realize they just can't put on the jersey with U - C - L - A on it and expect to win.

Go Bruins!

UPDATE: Well, maybe Howland got the player's attention as they finally pulled together some defense and put up some points in their 100-68 win over New Mexico State. Go Bruins!
