COMMENTARY

This was a game the Bruins controlled most of the way and should have won, despite missing two starters due to injury. The team relied on Campbell, Jaquez, and Bailey most of the way, but was hurt by foul trouble by the big men (Nwuba and Etienne) as well as zero points by starter David Singeton, the supposed leader of the squad.

Unfortunately, this may result in the Bruins missing out on a #1 seed in the west. More important is the return of center Adem Bona, who hurt his shoulder in the last victory over Oregon.
