Despite a victory, it's not exactly happy trails for Bruins - latimes.com:

"Josh Smith misses the team bus, UCLA nearly misses every shot it takes early on and Ben Howland's most challenging season continues with an unimpressive 15-point win over USC."

Here's how screwed up the UCLA basketball program is: teams in the Pac 12 tournament stay in a hotel across the street from the Staples Center. All teams but one WALK across the street to their games. The exception is UCLA, which takes a BUS one block. So the UCLA center misses the bus. He walks across the street -- and gets there before the team! So he's benched the first half for missing the one-block bus ride that took longer than walking across the street. Great morale builder, coach.
