Howland tidbits
UCLA coach Ben Howland met with the media this morning and said despite Loyola Marymount being 0-10, he is always concerned about not being prepared to play. He added one of LMU's problems is a lack of depth.
Howland added he thought LMU would play a lot of zone defense, and time is being spent in practicing attacking the zone. He also said guard Jrue Holiday is very good at attacking the zone.
Howland said reserve guard Mustafa Abdul-Hamid will undergo surgery to repair a ligament in his wrist, which will keep him out of action "essentially" for the rest of the season.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
...There's another scholarship down the drain.
There goes the season if Abdul-Hamid is out. Not sure that Spencer Soo can pick up the slack in garbage time
Anonymous 11:53...no need to be rude.
Spencer Pratt?
More like well-timed sarcasm. Adbul-Hamid having surgery has as much impact on the team as me having surgery.
So maybe Trepani gets to suit up a little more often....
