Never satisfied (194 clicks)
Asked if he was satisfied with where the Bruins were at entering the first game, his theme was a resounding no. ``Satisfied? No, I'm mad,'' Howland said. ``Darren Collison is out. Michael Roll is out. Josh's thumb is bothering him. James Keefe is out. The bottom line is that we have seven guys on scholarship. So, no, I'm not satisfied. But it doesn't do any good to mope. It's something we can't control.''

No. 1: UCLA Bruins (270 clicks)
The early departure of three-year starter Arron Afflalo for the NBA may have disappointed Ben Howland but it didn't affect his optimism for the upcoming season. Because, believe it or not, freshman Kevin Love will more than make up for the loss of the Pac-10's Player of the Year.

There's his 5-11 record against ranked teams, his 1-3 record in bowl games, and with Saturday's loss to Arizona, his 6-13 record in games played in November or later. His overall record with three games left in his fifth season is 34-25. Since winning the first eight games of his third season in 2005, UCLA is 14-12.
