Though the Bruins welcomed the new year with a win, it hardly came with a bang. 
After clinching the victory against the visiting Utes in the closing minutes of regulation Thursday, UCLA men’s basketball (7-2, 3-0 Pac-12) went 2-0 over the New Year’s weekend, defeating Colorado (7-3, 1-2) 65-62 for its third conference win of the season.

The Bruins were 43 seconds away from returning the Victory Bell to Westwood. 
But for another year, the Victory Bell will remain cardinal. 
After a 56-yard return on the Bruin kickoff in the final minute of the game, Trojan quarterback Kedon Slovis slung a pass toward his receiver Tyler Vaughns.

Just over a week ago against Pepperdine, it took UCLA three overtime periods to build a winning lead over the Waves. 
The Bruins’ matchup with the visiting Seattle Redhawks on Thursday was not as dramatic, yet it still took UCLA until the end of the first half to build a lead. 
Neither of those two scenarios were true Sunday night.

The Bruins have lost most of their familiar faces in the starting defense, leaving new additions in Westwood working to fill the shoes of departed veterans.

But with UCLA football set to hold its first training camp Friday and the Bruins’ season-opener against Colorado set on Nov.

Although the 2019-2020 year finished with the cancellations of the remaining seasons for many UCLA teams, there were still inspiring performances by athletes competing in the blue and gold.

Almost one year ago, the 2019 MLB Draft concluded with a program-record 13 Bruins selected by MLB teams, tying with Vanderbilt for the largest draft class nationwide that year.

UCLA men’s basketball has won 11 national championships and produced five Hall of Famers in its 101 seasons in Westwood.
The list of basketball legends who have suited up in Pauley Pavilion is longer than nearly any other school’s, and the debates over the best of the best remain relevant to this day.
