The Bruins have reason to be proud – very proud.

For the third season in a row, coach Ben Howland and his team celebrated a Pac-10 regular season title.

While no banners go up in Pauley Pavilion for a conference championship, the Bruins’ achievement on Thursday night puts them in some good company.

The last time UCLA won three conference titles in a row was ’95, ’96 and ’97, and the last coach to win three in a row was the legendary John Wooden, who retired in 1975.

“I’m just really, really grateful that our team has now won three championships in a row in the Pac-10,” coach Ben Howland said. “And this is the best the Pac-10 has ever been (in the past) 25 years. I think everyone would agree with that, top to bottom. There’s just nine really good teams; it’s a dogfight every night. I’m just really grateful we’re able to get the win.”

This one is referee assisted and gets an asterisk...Stanford made a clean block on UCLA's last shot in regulation...they should be sort of proud...not very proud...
