While ranked #4, one loss was in the Maui Classic to a Santa Clara team led by then obscure guard Steve Nash. The team finished 1st in the conference. The Bruins competed in the 1996 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, flopping in a spectacular upset to the unranked Princeton Tigers in the round of 64. This was the final season for head coach Jim Harrick, a national championship coach who was fired over a transgression where he lied about two current players attending a recruiting dinner at Monty's Steakhouse, in contravention of NCAA rules.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/101786031/the-san-bernardino-county-sun/ Firing is just desserts for Harrick C1 Paul Oberjuerge The San Bernardino County Sun November 7, 1996 May 13, 2022 Newspapers.com Roster 1995 UCLA Bruins men's y Toby Bailey y 12 G 6 5 185 So Los Angeles, California Kevin Dempsey 30 F 6 6 210 Sr San Jose, California Cameron Dollar y 5 G 6 1 173 Jr Atlanta, Georgia C Omm'A Givens y 50 C 6 10 235 So Frances, Washington J.
