UCLA Basketball: Guard Reflects On Bruins' Biggest Vulnerability After Utah Loss

The vulnerabilities were legion.

Your UCLA Bruins are in free fall after their latest loss, a brutal 90-44 affair on the road against the Utah Utes. It marked the team's fourth consecutive defeat, and its eighth loss across its last nine contests. The Bruins are now 6-10 on the season and fading fast from the Pac-12 conversation.

Per UCLA Communications, Bruins guard Dylan Andrews believes a big component of the defeat, which really crumbled on a 23-2 second half run, hinges on one key botched element: offensive rebounds.

“I just feel like we got a little manhandled today," Andrews noted postgame. "It turned into a pride thing at a certain point. We have to be better. We can’t give up those second-chance points. I think they scored 57 points off second-chance points. … That can’t happen. We have to finish the possession with the rebound so we can – the more possessions you have in the game, the more chances you have to score. That’s what [Utah] had, and we didn’t get that too much.”
